Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Most likely long-term role appears to be skilled bench outfielder or platoon player capable of producing high on-base percentage and disciplined at-bats but lacking power production to justify full-time designation. If mechanical improvements and injury recovery materialize optimally, potential exists for 2-3 WAR regular outfielder with 110-120 wRC+. However, current trajectory suggests continued frustration with power manifestation, ongoing injury vulnerability, and limited time window given organizational patience with productivity-to-metrics gap appearing exhausted. Trade value severely diminished by 2025 performance and heel surgery. Recovery timeline from heel deformity removal remains uncertain but could extend into 2026 season.
