| Hit | 30 | 45 | Fast bat through the zone from both sides. FB hitter, over-aggressive approach, beaten by FB elevated. Limited present pitch ID, expands the zone and chases spin. Patience and selectivity must improve to develop playable hit tool. |

| Field | 40 | 50 | Moves all over the infield (SS/2B/3B), looks more comfortable up the middle. Athletic actions, but will likely outgrow shortstop. Projects as an avg defender elsewhere in the infield w/ ability to slot in at SS for short stretches. |

| Throw | 50 | 55 | Above-avg arm w/ strong carry and low lines through the target. Sloppy footwork and limited accuracy right now from the deep hole. Projects above-avg as he makes the adjustment. |

Overall Summary
Physical, athletic infielder w/ strength in the frame and batspeed from both sides. Like the tools, but all projection. Undisciplined approach and proximity from ML level add risk to profile.
