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.
