| Hit | 40 | 60 | Hitterish w/ excellent natural bat-to-ball skill; fluid, balanced, athletic stroke that takes what is given and uses both fields. Makes adjustments very quickly for a teenager. Ingredients of future plus hit tool. |

| Game Power | 30 | 45 | Lacks the swing lift or approach for much present game power. Can project given youth and feel for quality contact, but unlikely to be huge HR threat. |

| Field | 45 | 50 | Polished, coordinated defender at SS; makes routine plays but might ultimately lack lateral range for the position; likely to outgrow position as already-thick frame continues to get larger. |

| Throw | 55 | 55 | Average raw arm plays up a half grade given internal clock and ability to throw from different angles on the run. Enough arm for the left side of the infield, even if he moves off SS. |

Overall Summary
Excellent instincts and feel to hit for his age, poised competitor that has competed admirably against older competition all year. Ceiling of solid everyday regular, offensive-minded infielder that might wind up at 2B or 3B long term.
