Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Physical Description:
Tall, projectable frame. Excellent athlete, was also a standout
football player in high school. Still has some remaining
physical projection and room to add power.
Hit:
Wide, balanced stance with a leg
lift. Strikes out at high clips, but shows semblance of plate
discipline. Hit tool is a major question mark. Will always have
swing and miss in his game. Can struggle with advanced off-speed
stuff. Solid plate discipline.
Power:
Swing has some loft, will show
above-average raw power. Present in-game power is fringe-average
and there are questions about how much his power will play due
to his questionable hit tool.
Run:
Plus speed and range.
Field:
Above-average defensive center
fielder. Should stick in center field, although could move to a
corrner if he fills out. Solid overall instincts.
|
|
Arm:
Solid-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. Struggled as he started to face more advanced pitching
in 2018. Boston acquired him from Arizona for Blake Swihart
early in 2019. Played at the Alternate Training Site for the
final three weeks of the 2020 season.
Summation:
Currently profiles as a fringe
bench player, possibly a 4th/5th outfielder at the major league
level, but could develop into more with continued hit tool
development. Will take time to develop into his tools.
