Scouting Report Update (5,13.2020)

Retired (August 2021)

Physical Description: Average frame, on the shorter side. No physical projection.

Hit: Starts with a vertical, open stance. Utilizes a big leg lift timing device. Lot of pre-pitch movement. Lots of effort in swing. Quick hands, average bat speed.

Power: Well-below average power potential. Will run into one on occasion, but swing is primarily designed for line drives from gap to gap.

Run: Below-average speed. Above-average instincts, but not a threat to steal

Field: Has played second base, third base and left field, mostly moving around in deference to other players. Profiles best at second base or in left field. Has really struggled at third base during his time there. Not a reliable defender. Played a significant amount of DH in 2019, although not clear if that was primarily due to defensive limitations or injuries. Below-average defensive profile.

Arm: Below-average arm strength.

Career Notes: Led Division III in home runs as a senior at Pomona College. Reportedly had been recruited by Notre Dame and Harvard, but chose Pomona for its pre-med program. Majored in neuroscience and had planned to apply to medical school until playing professionally became a possibility.

Summation: Profiles as an organizational utility player. Has no stand-out tools, but can hit a little bit and play passable enough defense to stick around in an organization for a while. Fundamentally sound player with an advanced baseball IQ. Type of player the organization has felt comfortable moving to higher levels temporarily when injuries hit. Had a very good season offensively in 2018, but was old for the level and is unlikely to repeat that success at higher levels.
