| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 45 | Will always come w/ strikeouts, but approach and ability to draw walks project to bail out on-base ability to some degree. Projecting up as he's kept away from tough LH matchups. Struggles badly against same-side breaking stuff; bat is more strong than quick through zone, struggles to adjust barrel. |

| Game Power | 40 | 50 | Don't see hit tool to bring raw power fully into games, especially against LHP. Still has the strength for 15-18 HRs in shielded or part-time role on the strong side of a platoon. |

| Field | 40 | 45 | Plays RF at present, don't think he has the range or closing speed for position. Projects as LF/1B type with corner versatility. |

Overall Summary
Physical slugger w/ LH power that carries the profile. Don't see hit tool for full-time role on a corner, mostly due to struggles w/ same-side pitching. Projects as righty-mashing platoon bat who moves between LF and 1B.
