MiLB Stats
Overall Summary
Athletic corner infielder with some power potential, but with gradual actions and a lot of swing and miss. He has some room to fill out and will get stronger, but is more of a loft power guy and doesn't really drive the ball. May not make enough contact to reach his power ceiling. Does a good job staying balanced and has some feel for the strike zone, but has a grooved swing at times and will get beat up in the zone. Moves well for his size, with average hands and ability to handle the routine plays. Has been working on a move to first base in 2016. See the swing and miss always being an issue; will have to hit for power to have value in a corner-utility role.
