| Hit | 40 | 45 | True outcomes hitter w/ power and patience profile. Knows how to get his pitch but will always come w/ strikeouts. Struggles w/ LHP, likely won’t face them much at ML level. Pull-heavy, doesn’t use whole field, hits into the shift. True 40 pure hit tool projects to 45 given walk totals and on-base ability. |

| Run | 40 | 40 | 4.30-4.35 H/1B times; won’t add much on bases but runs well for size, especially underway; not a clogger, digs a hard 90. |

Overall Summary
Power and patience could get him to the big leagues, ceiling of righty-mashing platoon bat. Defensive limitations and inability to face LHP cut into value and add pressure to offensive output.
