Hit	60	Balanced, slightly open stance; quiet, easy swing; Excellent feel for the barrel, hits the ball hard to all fields; Patient hitter who commands the zone well, recognizes spin and has the ability to make adjustments at the plate.
Power	70	Easy, double-plus raw power generated by bat speed and physical strength. Has some natural loft in his swing path, ball jumps off of the bat; Gets to it easy in-game to all fields and does not need to sell out for power.
Baserunning/Speed	40	Current average raw speed, will play below average as he matures; Solid baserunner with good instincts.
Glove	50	Better glove than what he's given credit for, will be able to handle either corner infield position playing average defense at third and above-average at first; Shows good instincts in the field with a quick first step, lacks lateral quickness but charges well and shows soft hands when fielding.
Arm	50	Arm is strong and accurate enough to play as average from the left side of the diamond.

Wherever Torkelson lands defensively it doesn't matter, the bat is going to play at a high level. His combination of contact and near elite power will make him a constant middle of the order run producer in a major league lineup.
