| Hit | 45 | 55 | Quick hands through zone, plus batspeed, compact swing that barrels up both fastballs and spin; hard line drives both ways; advanced approach, works counts and lays off close pitches; more aggressive within the zone and might always swing and miss, but will take walks and has tools to be above-avg hitter. |

Overall Summary
Polished, high-instincts outfielder who gets the most out of his tools. Profiles as a low-end regular or solid role player/4th outfielder if he winds up a tweener. High floor, close to ML ready.
