Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	45	Above average bat speed. Tremendous strength and contact typically hard. Tall, even stance; short, simple stride. Loads hand high and tight behind his ears. Level, line drive swing plane. Very long arms; can be beat by velo inside; needs to get extended; hands often come in steep from launch point. Below average bat control; so large he lacks premium fine motor skills. Selective hitter who will take a walk; looks for pitches he can handle but can be passive at times; shortens up behind in the count. Identifies spin poorly; vulnerable on outer half and low; will chase spin and soft. Not prone to expanding his zone for FBs, but will swing and miss in the zone. Uses whole field, but best working CF-oppo/to RCF gap.
Power	60	70 raw; easy power. Line drive hitter whose muscle and bat speed will lead to plus power numbers; hits rockets. Crushes mistakes in the zone. Best power to CF, but capable of hitting it out to any field in any ball park.
Baserunning/Speed	50	Speed plays better in the field than on the basepaths; better underway; finishes swings with total commitment and often slow out of the box. Smart baserunner; will take an extra base here and there but not a threat to steal.
Glove	55	Solid average range in either corner with average reads and routes. Smooth defensive actions rarely seen in a man this size.
Arm	60	Easy plus arm strength and plus accuracy.

Judge projects as an above average big league right fielder. Plus power and a high OBP will make him an effective hitter despite a high amount of strikeouts. Prototypical right fielder with above average glove and plus arm.
