Physical Description: Strong,
athletic build. Some remaining projection, but already
physically developed for his age. Looks listed height and
weight.
Hit: Starts with an open
stance. Short, compact swing. Quick hands. Does a good job
utilizing his lower half. Will take what the pitcher gives him
and use all fields. Does a decent job picking up breaking balls
early. Has shown the ability to hang in against left-handers.
Potential average hit tool.
Power: Plus
raw power. Shows easy power during batting practice. Power is
most notable to the pull side. Potential to develop
above-average game power at his peak.
Run: Average speed. Aggressive on the
basepaths. Gets good jumps and reads the game well when on the
bases.
Field: Reads and first step need
some development when playing center field. Won't be a standout defender, but should develop into an
average outfielder at least. Whether he can stick in center
field long-term or has to move to a corner, probably right
field, is still to be determined. |

Arm:
Average arm strength. Passable at all outfield positions. Arm is
accurate, but lacks some zip at times.
Career Notes:
Was committed to the University of Maryland. Participated in the
2018 Fall Instructional League.
Summation:
Potential average regular. If bat continues to develop, ceiling
of an impact everyday player. Bat-first profile, likely destined
for a corner outfield spot.. Not physically imposing, but has
strong instincts and plays hard, getting the most out of his
tools.
Note: This page will be updated with a
complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the
player in regular season game action.
