Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Physical Description: Athletic, projectable frame. Skinny
and lacks strength at present. Could stand to add 15-20 pounds as he
physically matures.
Hit: Starts square and
vertical, hands high. Utilizes a big leg kick. Quick hands. Swing has
length and loft. Gets hands into the zone quick, but bat drags some due to
lack of strength. Rudimentary approach. Can get pull-happy at times. Lot
of swing-and-miss at present. Struggles to recognize breaking balls. Will
be tested at each level as he moves up. Needs to show he can make
considerably more contact. Struggles against left-handed pitching.
Potential below-average hit tool.
Power: Will show
average raw power in batting practice, primarily to the pull side. Has
shown some in-game power as well to the pull side. Power development will
depend on how he physically develops and how much contact he makes against
more advanced pitching. Has shown significantly more power against
right-handers than left-handers. Potential below-average in-game power.
Run: Below-average speed. Not a major part of his game.
Field:
Work in progress. Needs to improve reads and routes.
Not the most instinctive defender; first step needs work. Projects as a
below-average defender. |
|
Arm:
Below-average arm
strength. Likely too light for right field.
Career Notes:
Had been committed to play at Penn State. Signed for slightly over slot.
Has had trouble staying healthy throughout his career. 2018 season ended
about three weeks early due to a back injury, and missed most of the first
half of 2019. Participated in the Fall Instructional League in 2018 and
2019. Participated in 2022 Winter Warm-Up.
Summation: Potential minor league depth
player. Can dream on a bat-first, corner outfield profile, but
has a lot of development to go, and there is wide gap between
what he is now and what he could be in the future. Progress has
been slow and impeded by injuries. Must develop physically. Will
have to hit, as he doesn't project
to add much defensive value.
