Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Physical Description: Solid
frame with minimal remaining projection. Strong upper body.
Fringe-average athlete.
Hit: Starts
slightly open with his hands high. Short leg lift and gets foot
down quick, ending up in a good hitting position. Fluid swing
with a slight uppercut. Solid bat speed. Has shown the ability
to turn on velocity. Struggles with recognition of secondary
stuff, especially breaking balls. Aggressive hunting fastballs
and rarely takes a walk. Has swing-and-miss in his game. Needs
to improve his approach and become more selective at the plate.
Power: Above-average raw power.
Strength-based swing with power primarily to the pull side.
Future power potential depends on development of his hit tool.
Average power potential.
Run:
Below-average speed.
Field: Played all
over the diamond in college, spending time at first base, third
base, shortstop and corner outfield. Played primarily first base
in 2021. Was announced as a third baseman when drafted, so Red
Sox may intend to start him there. |
|
Arm: Average arm strength.
Career Notes: Originally drafted by
the Pirates in the 23rd round of the 2018 draft. Attended East
Mississippi Community College as a Freshman. Named to the MACJC
All-Region team that year after leading the team in almost every
offensive category.
Summation: Bat-first
profile, but needs to refine approach to reach his potential.
You can dream on average hit and average power, but defensive
profile lags behind. There are questions about how he will
handle more advanced pitching and his long-term defensive home.
Made significant strides at the plate with Auburn in 2021 and
will look to continue those gains in pro ball.
Note: This page will be
updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team
has seen the player in person.
