| Hit | 30 | 50 | Plus batspeed, strong hands and wrists. Smooth swing that's best working level, can get longer and be uphill at times. Can open up on a ball to pull and also stay through pitches away for opposite field contact. Ingredients of future avg hitter as body and approach develop. |

Overall Summary
Ceiling of glove-first everyday shortstop in the big leagues. Well-rounded toolset that puts the ball in play and contributes on the bases and in the field. Lack of power limits upside, will be a bench player if the hit tool falls short of average.
