| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 50 | Direct path, short to the ball, hitterish look but has some present swing/miss to clean up. Showed a hole against velocity up and consistently waved at same-side breaking stuff. Tools of a future avg hitter as he refines. |

| Game Power | 30 | 40 | HR power not a big part of his game. Speed/contact profile w/ enough strength for 8-12 HRs over full season at maturity. Can shoot the gaps and rack up doubles. |

Overall Summary
Lacks a true dominant tool to fit FV 50+ profile, but well-rounded game fits as a role player or quality fourth outfielder fairly safely. Should move through the system quickly and could help at ML level soon.
