Physical Description:
Extra-large frame that really stands out. Looks taller than his
listed 6-foot-5 and correspondingly heavier than his listed 210
pounds. Not much projection remaining. Will need to work on
maintaining his physique simply because of how big he is.
Hit: Starts open in a slight crouch.
Pronounced leg kick and weight transfer. Good separation in
swing. Long stride. Really gets his whole body into his swing
and clears his hips before whipping the bat through the zone.
Quick bat; shorter swing and will show solid barrel control,
particularly for someone his size. Surprisingly advanced
approach for his age. Very aggressive hunting fastballs early in
counts. Has pretty good knowledge of the strike zone, but is
still learning to recognize secondary pitches, especially spin.
Struggles to consistently elevate the ball. Too often will chop
down and make contact on the ground. Needs to find a more
consistent swing path and improve his angles. Potential
fringe-average hit tool.
Power:
Plus-to-better raw power. Generates easy power, ball really
jumps off his bat. Has shown the ability to drive it out to all
fields, although power really stands out to the pull side. Needs
to elevate the ball more in order to tap into his power
potential. Potential above-average in-game power.
Run: Below average speed. Surprisingly agile
for his size and moves pretty well. Not a base clogger.
Field: Split time between first base and the
corner outfield in the DSL, but played the outfield exclusively
in his first stateside season. Shows average range out there,
but routes need some work. Saw time in center field early in the
2025 season, but mostly moved to the corners as the season went
on, where he is a much better fit. Not the most fluid
outfielder, but could develop into a fringe-average defender.

Arm: Plus-to-better arm that would play in any
outfield spot.
Career Notes: Was the
organization's top DSL player in 2024, winning its Latin Program
Player of the Year award. Played in the 2025 Spring Breakout and
Futures at Fenway South games, by far the youngest Red Sox
player in the former. Played in both Spring showcase games again
in 2026, starting in both.
Summation:
High-variance prospect with standout size and physicality for
his age. Upside will be determined by his ability to make swing
changes, as right now, his swing keeps him from tapping into his
tremendous raw power. Baseball skills are surprisingly advanced,
but hit tool has a wide range of outcomes. Has made a solid
amount of contact so far in his career, but most of it has been
on the ground. If the bat clicks, has the offensive profile to
be able to hold down a spot even at first base or in left field
if he winds up there, but he has the arm to profile in right
field if he can stick there. High-ceiling, low-floor profile,
but one of the most intriguing bats in the Red Sox system.
