Physical Description: Wiry, loose athlete with underdeveloped baseball skills. High energy, has some flash, doesn't lack confidence.

Hit: Loose hands, utilizes double toe-tap as trigger with hands cocking and ready to swing. Aesthetically pleasing left-handed swing with high one-handed follow through. Will also use wheels and lay down a bunt. Strong bunter and will take a walk. Solid fit around the edges of a lineup. Grade: 45

Power: There's underrated strength here. Plays more of a scrappy type game but don't let that fool you, there's some pop in the bat. Learned how to pull the ball with the Cubs and now will hit some no doubters to right. Average raw power here. Grade: 45

Field: Inconsistent routes and poor angles make him a better fit on a corner despite his speed. Strong fit for right field due to arm. Grade: 40

Arm: Has a strong arm. Accurate, strong foot work. Some transfer issues but arm is a weapon. Grade: 60

Run: Plus speed. Can steal bases, but needs some polish on the basepaths. Speed makes up for less than ideal angles in the outfield. Grade: 60

Overall: Very fun player to watch. Older than most prospects at his level but unusual developmental timeline to blame for that. He was born in Curacao and drafted three times, but he ended up at JUCO powerhouse Chipola and is making up for lost time.
