Aug 2021 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 2
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Shorter in height, but packs a good amount of size in his frame. Little room to fill out and develop physically, reached full maturity. Injuries halted development.

Hit: : Compact right-handed swing; bent and low throughout his stance. Hands slightly above the letters, stays locked in throughout his pre-load. Solid approach and average bat speed. Shows a good feel for contact, pounces on some mistakes in the zone. Flatter swing path with little leverage, but works an at-bat. Injuries have stunted his growth the past two years. Grade:

Power: Below-average power at the plate. Flat swing path limits loft; lacks the strength to carry it. Showed some gap-to-gap power, but lacks over-the-fence pop. Grade:

Field: Average fielding ability with quick motions and lateral movements on the dirt. Stays on his feet to make plays, lacks the athleticism to play balls deep in the hole. More of a natural fit at second base given lack of exceptional defensive skills. Grade:

Arm: Average arm strength at second base. Throws come out accurate, lack much zip and carry. Smooth scoop-and-throw motions for double plays. Grade:

Run: Fringe-average speed across the board. Doesn't get out of the box effectively; some sluggish movements. Still moved well for his added size. Lacks top-end speed and burst, but is instinctive enough to steal a couple bags. Grade:

Overall: Injuries have severely halted Frank's progress, who is now 24 years old and still hasn't played in 2021. When he was somewhat healthy and playing in 2019, Frank showed average tools across the board with below-average pop at the plate. He has a solid approach, but lacks much upside and is now at a disadvantage two years later. Let's hope he gets back on the field soon.
