Charles is the most unique player in the country. The durably-athletic, 6-foot-3, 195-pound two-way player pitches and hits from both sides. Although there is clearly plenty of potential on the mound (he was 88-89 right-handed and 83-84 left-handed with feel for secondary), the bat stood out as the most intriguing aspect of his prospect status.
Driving a heavy barrel through the zone from both sides, the outfielder looked hitterish in each plate appearance, and showcased big power potential as well as a chance to hit. This look, in particular, showed Charles to be a potential middle-of-the-order bat in the future, and immediately stamped him as a player to follow closely in coming years.
