(Brief video-only notes. Lack of data combined with limited available video severely reduces conviction and ability to assign a specific bonus value.)
Lanky infielder with some raw (but unrefined) tools. Tall with extremely long levers, somewhat narrow frame but overall size will allow him to add considerable strength. Fairly explosive athlete but will need to improve his body control — this could come naturally as he matures physically.
RHH-only at the plate, shows quality present bat speed that combined with his physical projection show allow him to generate substantial raw power. Squares the ball consistently in batting practice, but swing is semi-stiff and quite long with an arm bar. Didn’t see in-game, but question whether there is sufficient bat control. Additionally, path is quite flat which will need to change to tap into his raw power.
Fairly fluid actions on the infield, unrefined but impressive for his size and lack of present body control. Body and footwork make it likely he ultimately moves to 3B — has the arm strength projection to play there, but accuracy is variable and will need to make significant strides. Traits to be a solid defender on the INF, but a long distance to achieve this with some risk of an eventual OF move.
Potential for meaningful raw power along with ability to make contact in BP and nascent defensive traits drive interest. That said, doubts about his ability to hit in-game and ultimate defensive value create hesitation. Wide range of potential outcomes, need to see more to accurately profile but enough intrigue to continue following.
