Scouting Report: Filled-out, athletic frame. Built like a running back. Quiet hitting mechanics. Keeps hands low around the letters, minimal action with his hands or feet upon pitch approach. Slight uppercut swing path creates decent bat speed. Can be agressive early in the count. Below-average bat and present power. Has the frame, athleticism, and strength to develop more power. Average speed but hasn't been much of a threat on the basepaths. Marginal defensive player - played shortstop, second base, and third base early in his career, but was later moved to left field. Error prone in the infield. Footwork needs improvement. Below-average arm. A rare undrafted free agent out of high school, Arnold had been committed to play at Lipscomb. Participated in the Fall Instructional League in 2018. Got minimal playing time in 2019. Likely projects as low minors depth.
