| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 40 | Average bat speed; hitch swing that adds length and slows down his hands; aggressive approach, free-swinger who doesn't ID off-speed; lots of swing/miss in game. Hit tool projects a grade, but still doesn't profile better than a below-average hitter. |
