2015 Top 40 Season in Review

Signed with Los Angeles (NL) (November 2016)

Physical Description: Powerful and athletic frame that has filled out significantly since he entered the system. Mature body with a thick, muscular lower half and minimal remaining physical projection.  

Hit: Switch hitter with similar swing mechanics from both sides of the plate. Open stance with a leg kick. Swing can get long. Hit tool has fringe-average potential. Passable approach and plate discipline, but can get caught chasing breaking balls too often. Has greatly improved his pitch recognition since he entered the organization.  

Power: Solid-average raw power, but only plays as fringe-average in-game. Has shown the ability to drive the ball with backspin.  

Arm: Solid-average arm strength. Has the arm to play right field and could play a passable center field, though not in an everyday role.

Field: Good instincts and solid range in the outfield. Average defensive potential, profile best suited for a corner.

Run: Average speed.  

Career Notes: Suffered a stress fracture in his left tibia after fouling a ball off his leg in May 2014 and missed the rest of the season. Returned for Fall Instructional League and winter ball, but was noticeably slower while rehabbing the injury. Also played soccer prior to committing to baseball.  

Summation: Future bench outfielder who has the potential to start for a second division team. Primarily a right fielder, but should be able to play a passable center field as well and contribute at the plate, getting on base at a decent clip with some power.
