Physical Description:
Tall frame, average athlete. As of 2026, looks significantly
more filled-out than listed wieght of 170. Not a ton of
remaining projection.
Hit:
Switch-hitter who starts open and vertical with a quiet load.
Uses a toe-tap timing device from the left side and a leg lift
from the right. Swing is longer from the right side, with more
chance to impact the baseball. Left-handed swing is looser and
more fluid, but more contact-oriented. Average bat speed. Has
shown solid feel for hit for his age. Makes contact on pitches
in the zone. Showed comfort against
fastballs in the low minors, but has struggled against high velocity in the high minors. Pitch recognition needs
refinement. Struggles mightily against offspeed stuff, will get overly
aggressive. Potential fringe-average hit tool.
Power: Above-average raw power. Power plays better from
the right side. Has shown the ability to punish mistake pitches
already. Power is mostly to the pull side, particularly when
hitting from the left side. Potential for average in-game power.
Run: Fringe-average to average speed. Takes some time to get
going, but can go from first to third on a single. Not a major stolen base threat.
Field:
Fringy instincts, average range. Routes are a work in progress.
Has played all three outfield positions, but looks best suited
for an outfield corner, especially as he physically matures.
Potential fringe-average defender in center field and average in
the corner outfield. |

Arm:
Average arm strength.
Career Notes:
Signed as a middle infielder but moved to the outfield before
debuting. Participated in the Fall Performance Program in 2021.
Was set to participate in the 2022 Fall Performance Program that
was canceled due to Hurricane Ian. Participated in the 2023 Fall
Performance Program. Played in the 2024 Spring Breakout game.
Received an invitation to MLB Spring Training in 2026 and
performed well while receiving significant playing time while
the entire MLB outfield participated in the World Baseball
Classic. Started in the 2026 Spring Breakout game. Assigned to
Worcester coming out of 2026 Spring Training.
Summation:
Potential emergency up-and-down outfielder. Ceiling of a
second-division regular. Switch-hitting ability gives him a leg up.
Showed a
solid approach and ability to make consistent, hard contact in
the low minors. Has struggled to find consistent success in the high minors
and will have to continue to make the adjustments necessary to make
higher quality contact against better arms.
