| Hit | 30 | 40 | Light overall bat lacking offensive impact for full-time ML role. Singles hitter w/ slappy approach; serves soft liners to both fields. Compact stroke w/ natural bat-to-ball skill allows some projection as he gets stronger. |

Overall Summary
Glove-only infielder w/ defensive ability at SS that could get him to the big leagues. Don’t see offense for full-time ML role. Profiles as upper-level depth/4A callup piece, defensive wizard who gets cups of coffee.
