Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Jason Gold
Age: 25 yr
Height: 5-8
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 2, LAD
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster
Physical Description: Diminutive middle infielder with some mass. Maxed out frame, thicker in the lower half.
Hit: Compact swing with a distinct uppercut bat path in all approaches. Open stance, hands start slightly above the letters. High leg kick for timing contributes to a heavy pull tendency. Swing has lots of moving parts, but he shows the ability to consistently get the barrel through the zone. Swing and miss issues are present. Controls the zone well with good plate discipline. Hit tool will play about average. Grade: 50
Power: Above average raw power for his frame. Uppercut swing and heavy pull tendency limits his ability to use his power to all fields. More game power against left handed pitching. Grade: 45
Field: Utility infielder with above average speed. Good first step and instincts allow him to make the majority of routine plays in the middle infield and some at the hot corner. Good speed bolsters range in the middle infield. Grade: 45
Arm: Short, compact throwing mechanics contribute to a strong but inconsistent arm. Can make all throws from the middle infield and the routine plays at third base. Accuracy concerns likely limit him to 2B or SS long term. Grade: 45
Run: Above-average speed with a short stride on the base paths. Good twitchy acceleration with a maxed out, short frame. Base-running instincts are lacking, but will likely be an above average runner on physical tools alone. Grade: 55
Overall: A small utility infielder with good physical tools. Surprising power from a small frame will make him a useful bat off the bench against left-handed pitching in situations where his defensive versatility doesn't afford him a spot in the everyday lineup. Swing and miss issues limit his ability to get to his raw power in game situations but above average plate discipline will carry an average hit tool.
