| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 45 | FB hitter w/ pull-oriented swing, looking to lift the ball. Takes pitches and draws walks but struggles to barrel up off-speed, especially from same-side pitching. Has the physical tools to develop playable hit tool but will have to make adjustments. |

| Game Power | 40 | 50 | Power doesn't come into games consistently, but has the raw for 15-18 HRs if he can get to it. Good power for a CF, would be more pedestrian if he's on a corner. |

| Run | 60 | 60 | 4.15, 4.18 times HP-to-1B. Long swing makes him more of a 50/55 runner up the line, but has plus speed when underway. Threat on basepaths; projects to rack up a good number of SBs. |

| Field | 45 | 50 | Easy defensive glide w/ smooth, long strides; ranges back on the ball well; routes still developing on challenge plays hit right to him and/or coming in on the ball. Future AVG defender in CF; would be plus if he moves to a corner. |

| Throw | 50 | 55 | Will flash above-average carry and velocity on throws, but a pitcher-like 3/4's throwing motion causes present issues w/ accuracy and tail on the ball. With an adjustment to his arm slot, throwing can play above-average, fits in all three OF spots. |
