Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	60	Upright, slightly open stance w/ good rhythm. Natural load w/ plus bat speed & a slightly uphill swing plane. Approach & pitch selection are very advanced for a 19-year-old, showing a strong feel for the strike zone & taking good swings in positive counts. Recognizes spin/offspeed & will punish mistakes. There will be some swing/miss as a trade-off for the power, but it still looks like a .270-.280 bat w/ high walk rates.
Power	70	Generates easy plus-plus raw power to all fields w/ a chance to grow into 80-grade raw at physical maturity. Combined w/ the hit tool/approach/swing plane it's easy to see a 30+ HR bat.
Baserunning/Speed	40	Below-average runner at present & will likely lose at least a step as he continues to age.
Glove	50	Hands/feet work at SS for now (albeit as a 40/45 glove due to range) but the athleticism is trending downward & he will all but certainly lose a step as he continues to mature. Future 40-grade defender at SS, but should maintain enough agility to turn in average defense at 3B.
Arm	55	Above-average strength w/ accuracy to match. Fits on the left side of the infield.

Impact, middle-of-the-order run producer w/ a rare hit/power combination & polish beyond his years. Perennial all star type, even if he moves down the defensive spectrum.
