  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Medium, athletic frame. Still has some room to add strength to his upper half even in his late 20s.

Hit: Starts in a closed stance with hands held high. High toe tap. Smooth upward swing path. Swing can get long at times. Above-average hands, quick bat. Barrels up well but chases and whiffs at high rates. Fringe-average overall bat tool.

Power: Above-average over the fence power.

Run: Above-average to better speed. Smart baserunner.

Defense: Utility man capable of playing all outfield and all infield positions. Best suited for middle infield. Average to better defender. Solid instincts and baseball IQ. 		  Arm: Fringe-average arm strength.

Career Notes: Spent three seasons playing for the University of Miami. Cape Leaguer All-Star with Orleans in 2017. Spent five seasons in the White Sox system.

Summation: Valuable up-and-down player due to defensive versality, speed, and power.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
