| Tool | Present | Future | Comments |
| Hit | 40 | 60 | Hits from a slightly open, wide stance, good rhythm, loose hands, works all fields, plus bat speed, can catch up to most velocity, slightly uphill swing plane, but hit balls have carry and doesn't need to hit it hard to get on base, works counts, hangs in v. LHP but struggled against better velocity from that side, recognizes pitches, future-plus hitter. |

| Field | 45 | 55 | Potential to be an above-average defender in LF, covers ground and has quality first-step reactions, gets to hit balls quickly, consistent routes and reads to the ball, could play CF in an everyday capacity as well but lack of arm strength and premium speed will keep at average. |

Overall Summary
While he could play CF and be an average defender there, lack of necessary arm strength will likely force a move to LF in the long-run. Still see as an average regular/everyday outfielder.
