| Hit | 40 | 45 | Doesn't expand, sound approach is best asset, can get passive; hand noise and big stride leads to hands/hips behind lower half; difficulty barreling baseball when stretched out. |

| Game Power | 30 | 45 | Has strength and bat speed for more; will collapse backside looking to uppercut; creates swing-and-miss; below-average feel for barrel. Patience will help get into good counts. |

Average hitter and glove at SS but a little short defensively to really impact there; 55 glove at 2B, but a little short with the stick to really impact there. Solid player whose value will be playing both positions w bottom-of-lineup bat and plus speed.
