| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 50 | Pullside hitter at present w/ strong uppercut. More off-balance swings against secondary pitches, but shows an idea of the strike zone and signs of hitting with a plan. Bat will take time to be ML ready as he improves approach vs. soft stuff and learns to use the other field, but has ingredients of future average hit tool. |

| Game Power | 40 | 55 | Will have enough contact to bring power into games. Potential for 18-22 HRs in peak years. |

| Raw Power | 55 | 60 | Explosive contact, ball jumps off the bat when squared to both fields. Above-avg raw power, advanced for his age/current level; will be future plus as he learns to lift the ball more consistently. |

| Run | 60 | 60 | Plus speed despite thick/muscular lower half shows how athletic he really is. Extremely strong strider who accelerates well. Wheels play on both sides of the ball. |

| Field | 50 | 50 | Hustle defender who plays centerfield w/ a football mentality. Athletic actions, ranges well to the gaps. AVG glove in CF, would be above-avg on a corner. |

| Throw | 65 | 65 | Plus arm is a true weapon, gets rid of the ball very quickly which plays it up another half-grade. Strong low carry w/ accuracy; can hit the cutoff man or launch a lazer straight back to the infield. |

Overall Summary
Ceiling of above-avg CF w/ plus power and arm for the position. Risk to profile given raw hit tool and distance from ML level. High-upside speed/power toolset that is worth being patient for.
