Physical Description: Medium,
athletic frame. Minimal remaining projection but could still
stand to add some upper body strength.
Hit:
Clean swing mechanics, quick wrists. Athletic and loose at the
plate. Aggressive approach, could stand to work the count more
to get his ptich, but also does not chase outside the zone at a
terribly high rate. Makes contact in the zone, but quality of
contact could stand to improve. Struggles against breaking
pitches and good velocity. Potential below-average hit tool.
Power: Below-average raw power. Does not
impact the baseball with regularity. Below-average power
potential.
Run: Average speed. Good
baserunner with solid instincts.
Field:
Solid defender capable of playing all over the field. Can play
second, third, short, and both outfield corners as needed.
Arm: Fringe-average arm, best suited for second
base and left field.

Career Notes: Father, Bill, pitched for six
years for the White Sox and was a minor league pitching coach
for several years following his retirement. Missed most of his
senior season in high school due to elbow surgery. Was committed
to Fresno City Junior College before signing. Participated in
the 2019 Fall Instructional League. Participated in the 2021
Fall Performance Program. Spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons moving
between levels (and defensive positions) as needed. Suffered a
right wrist fracture in late July 2024 and missed the remainder
of the 2024 season.
Summation: Potential
mid-minors organizational player. Ceiling of a high-minors
organizational player. Type of player every system needs, able
to play all over the diamond and move between levels as needed.
Hit tool limits potential, but versatility makes him a valuable
player who can fill holes throughout the system as necessary.
