(In-person notes from April 24-26 Miami Miracles event. Initial look in large showcase setting limits evaluation conviction.)

Body: Large frame with significant strength projection. Long levers with negative implications for hit tool.

Athleticism: Fair with mediocre body control and explosiveness. 

Bat: RHH with fair bat speed and a long, steep path oriented to the pull-side. Relatively stiff, grooved swing with limited ability to adjust the barrel. Below average approach with frequent tendency to chase. Strong with well-built frame and opportunity to develop significant raw power.  That said, see very low probability that he will hit enough to actualize this power in games. 

Defense/Arm/Run: Fairly good reads off the bat in the OF. Solid present arm strength that should get to above average as he continues to grow into his frame. Ran a 7.4, as he fills out see him ending up as a fringy runner that will fit best in a corner. Has enough traits to see solid overall defensive value in RF/LF. 

Summary: Raw power projection drives upside, but see very low probability he actualizes this given severe limitations at the plate. Doesn’t possess the innate traits to develop a playable hit tool, and his poor approach further deteriorates his profile here. Would be willing to invest a low bonus given the appealing high-end outcomes (as a power-first bat playing a solid corner outfield), but see a team with more optimism on the hit tool projection as likely to offer more than this.
