| Hit | 20 | 40 | Dead-hands hitter, needs to loosen up and get front foot down earlier to get around on pitches better. Drags the barrel through a long path, inside hole w/ consistent whiffs vs. velocity and spin. Long-range hit tool that requires serious dreaming and will take time. |

| Game Power | 20 | 40 | Strength+batspeed to dream on some deep-down future power, but can't get to it in games right now because of struggles making contact at current level. |

| Raw Power | 40 | 45 | Hard contact in BP without lift for fence-clearing power. Projects up as he learns to add more leverage in his swing. |

| Run | 50 | 50 | Average straightline speed, tick better underway. Not a burner but can do small things on the bases; occasional swiped bag, able to move 1st-to-3rd. |

Overall Summary
Athletic, muscular frame w/ crude batspeed and a chance to stay at SS. Didn't get a great look at what he can do because he's currently so overmatched by a full-season assignment to start 2019. More a collection of raw tools at this point than a true prospect, high-variance player who could fall short. Follow grade.
