| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 30 | 45 | Limited strength at contact from both sides. Slappy, line drive approach that sprays both fields. Switch-hitting profile w/ some bat-to-ball ability has potential to develop playable hit tool w/ continued reps and strength gains. |

| Run | 50 | 50 | 4.2-4.3 runner up the line w/ speed that plays better underway. Choppy, side-to-side runner that could improve his run times a bit w/ more synthesized mechanics. |

| Field | 50 | 50 | Can handle CF despite only avg straight-line speed given long strides and good routes. Speed seems to play better in the outfield than on the bases. |

| Throw | 60 | 60 | Two-way player that's also being used as a pitcher. T95-96 on the bump and that arm-strength translates to the OF. Strong lines w/ carry, low lasers get your attention. |

Overall Summary
Two-way player w/ plus athleticism and arm-strength. Grades as a 35+/Follow as both a hitter and pitcher, but combination of skills gives unique prospect value. Wildcard type on unique development trajectory; could be an extra OF and mopup pitcher off the bench.
