| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 50 | Swing is solid, covers plate, showed some feel for opposite field, ability to find the barrel. Did not show consistent plate discipline, over-aggressive in early counts, showed feel for count and timing to power up. |

| Game Power | 45 | 50 | Swing is oriented to line-drive contact; showed more loft in BP look. Power is only to the pull side, projects to average with more consistency in the swing path. |

| Raw Power | 50 | 55 | Can hit bombs to the pull side, didn't show pop to opposite field. Still finding a consistent launch angle; will add half grade when he does. |

Overall Summary
More of a well-rounded toolset than many 1B regulars. Lack of true plus raw power holds him back from a top-tier corner bat ceiling, but there's enough offense with a plus glove to profile as an everyday player.
