| Hit | 30 | 40 | Spray hitter w/ slappy contact from both sides. Aggressive hacks w/ active leg-kick trigger to start the swing. Overmatched at times as a young switch-hitter in full-season ball; has the batspeed and contact frequency to project on hit tool development. |

| Game Power | 20 | 30 | No game power right now and won't ever be a huge part of his game. Can sting the gaps for doubles and has the wheels to take extra bases. |

Overall Summary
Speedy switch-hitter w/ light bat and defensive versatility that could get him to the big leagues in cup of coffee role. Ceiling of upper-level depth/4A callup piece; will stall in high minors if bat carries no impact.
