Positional Profile: 2B/3B RHH/INF with good build/frame to add strength. Moves well, avg run now, chance can develop into plus runner. Developing infielder, will be solid as he firms actions. Solid bat/power combo in future with upside. Shows ability to hit baseball hard. Adjustments will help with contact consistency and ability to impact baseball.
Body: 6-0, 181-pounds. Good build/frame. Avg width to shoulders and back. Showing some strength currently. Good physical projections.
Hit: RHH. Lands in good position to hit. Rotational back foot, gets stuck in rotation. Develop ability to get foot fully turned, maximizing use of lower 1/2. Stride foot rolls onto side, stay into ground with foot, rolling onto side of foot, hinders use of lower 1/2. Right shoulder tilt present, contributes to uphill path. Work to level shoulders some, some tilt is fine. Too much can cause coming over top of balls.
