  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Tall, thin, athletic frame with minimal remaining projection.

Hit: Below-average hit tool. Starts open with his hands high. Uses a leg lift timing device. Average bat speed. Long swing. Has some swing-and-miss in his game, both in zone and chase. When he connects, usually hits the ball hard. Struggles with pitch recognition, especially against off-speed stuff.

Power: Will show average raw power in batting practice, but swing is designed more for line drives and plays at below-average in-game.

Run: Plus speed. Able to steal a base and take the extra base. Speed plays in the field as well.

Field: Average defensive profile. First step and routes are a little inconsistent, but has the speed to make upf or it. Solid defender at all three outfield positions.
  Arm: Average arm strength.

Career Notes: Started his college career at New Mexico, where he played both ways, but transferred after his freshman year to Pima Community College. Drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 33rd round of the 2019 draft. Did not sign and went to TCU for the 2020 season. Developed into one of the best players on the team in 2021 and was named First Team All-Big 12.

Summation: Projects as a solid high minors organizational player. Ceiling of an up-and-down emergency outfielder. Solid in all aspects of the game, but lacks a carrying tool. Swing-and-miss in game limits his upside, but if he can make enough contact has a chance to make it to the big leagues in some capacity.
