Physical Description: Tall,
very thin frame. Might be able to add some strength, but does
not have a frame that looks like it could hold substantial added
weight. Will always be on the skinny side.
Hit:
Starts vertical and square. Leg lift timing device. Swing lacks
separation. Lack of strength limits bat speed. Approach is very
raw. Struggles with pitch recognition. Unable to do much damage
against offspeed or good velocity. Very aggressive and chases at
a high rate. Does not consistently make hard contact and
struggles against high velocity. Has a long way to go with his
hit tool. Well below-average potential hit tool without
significant improvement.
Power: Average
raw power. Swing lacks lift, so despite average exit velocities
for his age, hits the ball on the ground too often to have
hard-hit balls turn into extra bases often. Will struggle to tap
into raw power without refinement with his swing. Will
occasionally flash some good pop to the pull side when he is
able to put the ball in the air. Below-average potential game
power without an improved swing path.

Run: Average speed. Takes long strides.
Field: Solid range, but initial reads and
routes need work. Corner-only profile. Potential average
defensive profile.
Arm: Average arm
strength.
Career Notes: Was one of the
top performers for the Red Sox 2023 FCL team.
Summation: Potential low-minors depth. Raw talent that
requiresa lot of development to get out of the low minors. Needs
significant development physically and with his swing/approach
to project as even a high minors contributor, but he is still
young and shows flashes of some promise. Needs to add strength
and make better impact at the plate to reach his potential.
Approach is raw and overly aggressive and requires substantial
refinement.
