  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: High-end athleticism and projectable frame. Needs to get stronger, but has the frame to add substantial muscle.

Hit: Quick hands and pronounced leg kick. Explosive swing and has above-average bat speed already. In the early stages of developing an approach, and struggles against secondary pitches, but has shown a solid ability to handle fastballs. Solid contact skills and above-average chase rate.

Power: Produces impressive exit velocities for his age and already shows solid raw power. How his hit tool actualizes will determine future power output, but likely to end up around average. Will already flash above-average power to the pull side.

Run: Plus speed.

Field: Extremely advanced defensive profile for his age. Solid instincts and range in center field, where he should be able to stick long-term as long as he maintains his athleticism.

  Arm: Plus arm strength with the chance for more as he gets stronger.

Career Notes: Received the second-largest bonus in the Red Sox 2025 international free agent class. Played in the 2026 Spring Breakout and Futures at Fenway South games.

Summation: High-risk, high-reward profile at the plate with a strong defensive profile to fall back on. Produces solid exit velocities for his age and has good bat speed already, but there are major questions about how his hit tool will develop. Potential plus-to-better defensive profile already, which puts less pressure on his bat, but if he hits, could develop into a high-end two-way player.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in regular season game action.
