1/25/20 Position Player
Hit: Lefty swinger with fluid, athletic moves prior to launch. Balanced launch with a mostly level path. Young hitter with a ton more to come pop wise. Looks to already have feel for contact.
Power: Line drive with much more on the way.
Offensive Projection:
Top Rapsodo BP Exit Velocity: 85.1.
Top Rapsodo BP Distance: 212.
Field: Smooth actions in the outfield. Always under control. Like most 2025's still has some development ball skills wise.
Throw: Where he doesn't look like a typical 2025 is arm strength. Ball jumps out of the hand. Going to really throw it someday. 
Defensive Projection: Corner Guy.
