| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 50 | Plus batspeed, quick hands through zone; slightly uphill stroke makes loud contact when he connects; swings and misses often, aggressive early in counts and struggles to ID spin. Fast bat allows offensive projection, young enough to shore up approach; raw tools of a future AVG hitter. |

| Game Power | 30 | 50 | Swing-happy approach and limited pitch recognition will prevent 60 raw power from playing to full grade in games. Still has the strength and batspeed for AVG homerun power at maturity. |

Overall Summary
High-ceiling prospect w/ extreme risk due to present swing/miss issues and strikeout rates. Has the ingredients of a 1st Division regular in CF, but won't reach full potential without improvements to contact and overall approach.
