  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Thin frame with some remaining projection. Needs to add strength, especially in his upper body. Average athlete.

Hit: Starts square in a slight crouch with his bat on his shoulder. Toe tap timing device. Active hands pre-pitch. Simple, short, choppy swing. Average bat speed. Struggles with velocity, especially up in the zone. Often gets underneath the ball, leading to a lot of weak contact in the air. Pitch recognition is a work in progress, but does not expand very often and makes consistent contact on pitches in the zone. Will use all fields. Potential fringe-average hit tool.

Power: Below-average raw power. Produces below-average high end exit velocities and needs to add more loft to his swing to tap into his raw power. Power plays best to the pull side. Well below-average power potential.

Run: Fringe-average speed. Not a major stolen base threat due to lack of instincts.

Field: Inconsistent routes and instincts in center field mean he likely profiles best in left field, where he has received most of his playing time after an initial exposure to all three outfield spots following his trade from Milwaukee. Average range, but not a standout defender at any spot. Potential fringe-average defensive profile in left field and below-average in center.
  Arm: Average arm strength. Plays best in left field.

Career Notes: Received the largest signing bonus in the 2023 Milwaukee international free agent class. Skipped the Arizona Complex League with the Brewers and was assigned right to Low-A after being brought stateside following his DSL debut, and was very young for the level as a result.

Summation: Potential solid high-minors contributor. Ceiling of a reserve outfielder. Lacks a carrying tool and is not overly projectable even though he is young for High-A. Needs to add strength and make more impact to have a chance against more advanced pitching. Approach metrics are solid, but lack of impact limits his ceiling. Could stand to improve defensively, and if he can stick in center, that would raise his profile, but he currently looks best suited in a corner.
