2015 Top 40 Season in Review

Traded to Arizona for a PTBNL or cash considerations (March 2018)

Physical Description: Athletic, medium build. Physically mature.

Hit: Line-drive stroke, compact swing. Quick hands through the zone. Gap-to-gap approach. Solid knowledge of the strike zone. Will tend to pull off pitches and can get beat on the inner-third as he needs to work on keeping his hands inside the baseball. Swing can get choppy at times.

Power: Not part of his game. Future below-average power. Will hit the occasional home run off a mistake pitch.

Arm: Can make all the throws and deep in the hole at shortstop. Above-average arm strength.

Field: Plus defender. Extremely athletic. Not flashy, makes it look easy. As fundamentally sound as they come. Great body control and is able to throw from all angles and on the run. Active lower half with agility, quick lateral movements, and soft hands. Plus range and first-step quickness and reactions. Future gold glove potential.

Run: Average runner. Natural instincts. Can steal a base, but it won’t be a big part of his game.

Career Notes: Excellent freshman and sophomore seasons, but struggled his junior year at ASU which contributed to him falling to the Red Sox at 24. Played for the Team USA Collegiate team as a sophomore, leading the team in hits and RBIs. Underwent surgery for bone spurs in his right elbow during 2016-17 offseason.

Summation: Backup infielder. Defense-first profile with elite defense and gold glove potential. Hit tool unfortunately doesn't hold water with rest of league, even at shortstop.
