Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|

Physical Description: Tall,
sturdy frame. Average athlete. Athleticism has decreased as he
has physically matured.
Hit: Starts
square in a slight crouch. Leg kick timing device. Below-average
bat speed, struggles with velocity. Swing has some length. Hit
tool is a major question mark. Will always have swing-and-miss
in his game. Can struggle to recognize breaking balls. Knows the
strike zone and is willing to work the count and take a walk.
Well below-average potential hit tool.
Power:
Above-average raw power. Swing has loft and is on an uphill
plane. How much his power will play in-game will be determined
by how much contact he makes. Potential fringe-average game
power.
Run: Average speed. Good
instincts on the bases.
Field: Potential
solid-average right fielder. Decreased athleticism makes him a
better fit in a corner, but could play center in a pinch. Good
instincts in the outfield. Average range.
Arm:
Above-average arm.

Career
Notes: Considered a potential five-tool
prospect out of high school, the Diamondbacks signed him out of
a commitment to Arizona State. Put together a fine year in 2017,
vaulting his prospect status upward. Struggled as he started to
face more advanced pitching in 2018. Boston acquired him from
Arizona for Blake Swihart early in 2019. Struggled initially in
Portland (.161/.307/.226, 44% K rate in 19 games), but fixed
some issues with his swing along with hitting coach Lance
Zawadzki after a demotion to Salem and hit better the rest of
the season. Was added to the 40-man roster in November 2019.
Played at the Alternate Training Site for the final three weeks
of the 2020 season. Opened 2021 season at the Alternate Training
Site. Despite solid statistical season in Worcester, was
designated for assignment following the trade deadline in 2021
and was claimed by Seattle. Made his MLB debut in a brief
call-up to the Mariners in August 2023. Returned to the
organization as a minor league free agent in 2023, serving a
reserve outfielder role in Worcester until being released in
July.
Summation: Projects as a solid
organizational outfielder. Ceiling of an up-and-down bench
outfielder. Lack of hit tool limits upside. Other tools all
grade out around average, but has far too much swing-and-miss in
his game. Elite makeup and work ethic. Leaves it all on the
field and is a very vocal and supportive teammate.
