Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Conservative floor as utility bench player or part-time first baseman providing occasional offensive spark from platoon usage. Realistic outcome as bat-first part-time catcher or first base player collecting 250-350 plate appearances annually with 8-12 home run production while batting in .220-.250 range. Optimistic ceiling resembling Gary Sanchez-type performer (1-1.5 fWAR annually) if able to reduce strikeout rate to acceptable 20-22 percent range while maintaining plus power production. Most likely scenario falls between conservative and realistic outcomes: second-division regular seeing 300-400 plate appearances annually in mixed defensive role generating 2-4 fWAR through power production offset by offensive limitations. Needs demonstrated adjustment to breaking balls and improved swing decisions to approach optimistic ceiling.
