Physical Description

| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 30 | Lots of present swing-and-miss and weak popouts. Pull-heavy approach that doesn't use the other field well. Fastball hitter who is vulnerable against off-speed stuff, frequently chases and expands zone. Some improvement expected in approach, passive at present, but MLB pitchers will expose with spin. |

| Game Power | 40 | 45 | Uppercut is geared to put a lot of balls in the air; more power than hit in profile; projects to fringe-average game power as he adjusts approach to find opportunities to barrel. |

| Field | 45 | 45 | LF-only defender w/ iffy reads and speed. Fringy glove that doesn't provide much overall defensive value. Not enough to cover CF in bench role. |
