| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 50 | 60 | Quiet set up; middle-of-the-field approach with advanced feel for the strike zone. Ability to keep hands back even when fooled; feel for the barrel and excellent barrel exit. Looks to get arms extended. |

| Raw Power | 40 | 50 | Carry on line drives; present gap power; future power plays more for doubles, but will still hit 15+ HR's at ML level. Power stroke to left-center. |

| Run | 60 | 60 | 4.15 HP-to-1B, 4.37 with turn; athletic gait, better when underway plays up run grade; long, smooth strides. Not a true base stealer, but is heads-up on the bases, will take extra base and goes 1st to 3rd very well. |

MiLB Stats
Overall Summary
Athletic, left-handed hitter with extra-base/run producing bat, advanced on-base skills and a chance to be above average in center field. Has feel for the strike zone, and middle-of-the-field approach; has above-average hand speed and can drive it to the gaps; see 30+ doubles per year. Will get beat trying to inside-out pitches on inner half; would like to see him turn on more balls. Has shown ability to adjust to the level as he moves up system; handles left-handed pitching. Currently goes back and forth between right and center field positions; some inconsistency in his route running, but has the tools to handle center on everyday basis. Aggressive player, good energy, grinder mentality. Compares to Steve Finley, A.J. Pollock, Matt Carpenter (bat) at MLB level.
