Ford has quickly become one of the fastest rising prospects in the class. He is a twitchy athlete at 5-foot-10, 140-pounds. A switch-hitter, the swing is quick and explosive through the zone from both sides. Ford has great barrel control, using the entire field with a line drive approach. He flashed the ability to drive pull-side with power.

5-foot-3, 105-pound switch-hitting shortstop, still has plenty of growth and maturing to do. Defensively, arm works short to a high ¾ slot, 68 across the infield. Fields position athletically, smooth footwork as he approaches the ball, advanced glove hand for age, consistently fields the ball out front with clean exchanges. Offensively, similar setup from both sides of the plate, high hands drop and load back, long stride, average balance. From the right-side barrel works level, generating groundball to line drive contact, from the left-side gets more uphill, using the gaps, 6 mph exit velocity off a tee. Ran an 8.09 laser-timed 60.
