| Hit | 30 | 40 | Stiff big-muscle swing w/ late trigger; spins off back hip w/ long, uphill path that exposes hole inside. Geared to pull, hard game contact to RF when squared but question consistency of barrel control. |

| Field | 40 | 45 | Large body at 2B limits range and first step. Looks like a 3B playing out of position to get his bat in the lineup at a spot that demands less offensive production. Projecting up w/ move to 3B or corner OF. |

Overall Summary
Physical infielder w/ raw power and arm-strength that make him a follow. Don't see enough offensive impact for regular ML role, below-avg glove at 2B that likely moves down defensive spectrum at higher levels.
