Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Ian Smith
Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: 2024
Physical Description: Lean, athletic build with room for growth. Wide shoulders, but stocky arms and legs. Will add legit muscle to his frame as he matures.
Hit: Slightly open stance that will stay on his back leg throughout a small leg lift load. Quiet hands with above-average bat speed. Short to the ball from the left side with a big follow through. Flat bat path that will impact the ball to all fields. Plus approach that shows a top of the order hit tool if his progression stays true. Grade: 40
Power: Can tap into decent present pull power when he can turn on a pitch but not a true power threat currently. As he continues to grow into his frame, more power should project. Grade: 40
Field: Very fluid actions up the middle with advanced footwork and composure when attacking the ball. Plus arm strength that can make throws from multiple angles with accuracy. Likely to stick at SS long term with a present big league glove. Grade: 55
Arm: Currently a below-average arm for shortstop. Fundamentals and instincts make up for it, but will need to add some arm strength to profile at shortstop with his arm, though his glove fits there Grade: 45
Run: Above average foot speed. Shows a quick first step and great instincts on the base paths. 6.74 runner in the 60. Short strider, but covers ground well. Grade: 50
Overall: This was a very advanced prep SS coming into the 2020 draft and that hasn't changed. Shows present overall tools to be a future big-league shortstop that's still under the age of 19. Watching how his raw power projects will ultimately determine what kind of big leaguer he will be in the end, but looks to be a 4th round steal.
