| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 40 | Swing-happy approach w/ limited barrel control. Takes a huge cut w/ length that sells out for power; numerous exploitable holes w/ propensity to expand the zone; pitch recognition has a ways to go, pull hitter that's looking FB. Needs lots more A-Ball reps before he's ready for upper-level pitching. |

| Raw Power | 45 | 50 | ML raw in the tank right now, though wild swing limits how consistently he works under the ball in BP. Will get to avg as he finds more rhythm and timing. |

Overall Summary
Bat-must-carry corner player w/ power potential that could get him to the big leagues. Limited hitting ability likely holds him back from significant ML role. Raw power is the carry tool and makes him a follow.
