Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	70	Only saw hit from left side in games, but took BP from both sides. From both sides, hits from an even stance with a small lift for timing. Quality bat control, and knows the zone and works the whole field with plus bat speed. Not a slap hitter, as he can drive the ball in the gap as well. Ambush approach, see ball hit ball, and can be overly aggressive at times, but there is a lot to like. See as a plus-plus hitter.
Power	30	Below-average raw power. Has strength in hands/wrists but won't be known for over the fence power, more for doubles and triples power.
Baserunning/Speed	70	Plus-plus runner, 4.05 from the left side. Accelerates quick, gets to top speed quick. Plus baserunner that forces infielders to work quick and make them uncomfortable.
Glove	50	See as a primary 2B, but could also get time in the grass given elite speed. Hands are fringe but makes all the plays around him, with plus-plus range, a quick first step, and instincts. Could fill in at SS but wouldn't be ideal given lack of accuracy and hands.
Arm	55	Above-average arm strength, can play anywhere on the dirt/grass. Would be a weapon at 2B. Struggled with accuracy in viewing, throws often sailed high.

See as a plus ML starter. Potential 7 hit tool, plus-plus speed as well, a leadoff type hitter. Moderate risk given inconsistency of defense in the dirt, but still has value even if he moves to the grass. Strong interest.
