| Hit | 30 | 40 | 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. |

| Game Power | 40 | 50 | Uppercut is geared to put a lot of balls in the air; more power than hit in profile; projects for average game power as his hit tool develops a grade. |

Overall Summary
Ceiling of bench bat w/ more power than contact. Plus raw power could allow 15-to-20 home runs annually even with 40-grade hitting ability, though limited hit/run/defensive tools decrease all-around value. High risk: bat-only profile on a corner, especially as right-handed hitter.
