Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Currently projects as a utility infielder prospect with significant developmental risk. Best-case scenario involves improved contact rates and maintenance of defensive skills and speed to become a complementary player. Most likely path suggests a career trajectory as minor league regular or late-inning defensive replacement if professional development continues at current pace. Still very early in professional career with substantial uncertainty. Speed and plate discipline are positive indicators, but contact rate concerns must be resolved for meaningful upside.
