Hit | 20 | 20 | Hits from an open stance, leg kick to even, lacks bat control, doesn’t get cheated, takes large hacks at the plate, struggles to recognize pitches, is easily pitched to, just don't throw him a FB early, above-average bat speed but given those deficiences, see as a bottom of the scale hitter. |

Overall Summary
Loaded with tools, but won't ever do much at the plate because of huge swing-and-miss issues, doesn't provide value with a 20-grade hit tool.
