| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 40 | Crude hit tool w/ limited pitch recognition and contact ability. Lots of present swing/miss, unsure if it ever gets much better. Waves through off-speed and gets beaten to numerous parts of the zone. |

| Game Power | 30 | 45 | Hit tool limitations prevent raw power from fully translating to game action. Projects as 8-12 HR type, has the strength for more but won't make enough contact. |

| Raw Power | 55 | 60 | Towering fly ball drives to pullside, easy above-avg raw, chance to be true plus as he fills out wiry XL frame. |

| Run | 50 | 50 | Big body runs better underway and in the outfield than up the line. Frame will hold speed even as he adds muscle. Able to swipe the occasional base, but not a true burner. |

| Field | 50 | 50 | Moves well in the OF for his size, covering ground w/ extremely long strides. Capable CF who would be above-avg in either corner, though has the athleticism to remain up-the-middle. |

| Throw | 55 | 60 | Cannon arm that really stands out. Booming strength and carry, firm lines to target. Footwork/accuracy get inconsistent at present and play it down at times, but projects as a plus tool once he corrects. |

Overall Summary
Physical athlete w/ defense and power potential to fit as a bench outfielder. Peaks and valleys hitter who won't be consistent enough at the plate for regular ABs. Repeating Low-A but still places in FV 40 tier on the strength of impressive raw tools.
