Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	50	Good bat speed; pre-pitch movement is consistent and predictable; not a lot of noise before he drives to the hitting zone; quick from the trigger to the contact point; has a knack for getting the barrel on the ball; sharp line drives to all fields; can work counts but prefers to be aggressive; gets caught between approaches at times; more successfully when he swings early and often; needs to take advantage of natural bat-to-ball ability; potential for .270-.280 average; may reach a tick higher if it all comes together.
Power	35	Line-drive oriented stroke; doesn’t lift the ball; line drives have lots of top spin and don’t carry; power can play from gap to gap as doubles; enough juice in the bat to keep pitchers and defenses honest; contact-first hitter with 7-10 home runs, 15-20 doubles with ample playing time.
Baserunning/Speed	55	H-1st ranged from 4.16-4.23 across multiple views; runs well; clearly putting in plenty of effort when he’s running but it doesn’t look difficult; has lost some speed since prior viewings; good enough athlete to maintain present speed; gets out of the box well and is consistently above-average down the line; speed plays a bit better on longer runs; plays well with instincts in OF; solid instincts on base paths; potential to steal 15-20 bases annually; above-average speed can be a factor.
Glove	55	Energetic defender; works hard in the outfield but does it with grace; natural defender; reads the ball well off the bat; jumps are very good in all directions; gets there quickly and settles under the ball; makes it look easy; will get aggressive and try to make difficult plays without care for his body; knows game situations and does all the little things as a defender; solid CF glove that could handle himself on the corners; like most players, could use a bit more polish as he moves up, but could defend at MLB level right now.
Arm	40	Arm doesn’t stand out; lots of effort when he’s trying to make a play with his arm; ball just doesn’t come out cleanly; accuracy is solid; raw arm strength is fringy; arm can work in LF or CF on consistent basis.

Lacks flash in the game; most tools are solid; can hit the ball and will hit some at the highest level; power isn’t a significant factor; speed can play toward the top of a lineup; glove will carry him to MLB and hit tool will give him a chance to stick; potential up-the-middle player with batting average driven offensive profile; won’t be a key cog on an MLB team but can be a quality role player.
