Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	50	Hits from a tall even stance with above-average bat speed; hands start high but loads just below shoulder; leg kick; some length, can catch up to velo; lacks plate discipline, aggressive hitter; needs to improve contact skills; average hit tool at full utility
Power	55	Present is plus raw, could grow as he fills out frame; should play to above-average at full utility with bat speed and loft on hit balls
Baserunning/Speed	60	Plus runner; 4.19 to 1B, 3.69 on a jail-break; aggressive baserunner, runs better than size suggests
Glove	45	Below-average glove at present, struggles with reads, poor decision-making, will throw behind runners
Arm	60	Plus throwing arm, accurate, good carry and line

A raw player right now, Aquino has present baseball skills and should improve, but will be a slow burn. There is some volatility given his profile, long swing, and developing pitch recognition skills.
