MLB ETA	Risk Factor	OFP	Video
2017	Low	60	Yes

Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	60	Short, fluid, balanced path to the ball; hard contact, ability to spray line drives or open up and get to his power; simple, quiet trigger allows him to stay back on breaking stuff, commits late, able to spoil good pitches, limited holes in swing; potential plus tool
Power	60	Doubles and over-fence power, best game power to pull-side; situational awareness, will expand swing and get aggressive with pull-side lift in appropriate counts; raw will play to full utility in-game
Baserunning/Speed	50	Average athleticism and straight-away speed; stolen bases not a huge part of his game, not a liability on the bases
Glove	50	Average defender at third, instinctual player; average first-step, moderate range, reliable hands; competent corner infield glove who could likely slide in at 2B to get his bat in the lineup
Arm	55	Solid-average arm across the infield; clean transfer and footwork, accurate with carry, looks the part finishing plays with his arm from third base.

Ceiling: First-division infielder, able to hit for plus average and power.

Realistic: Lack of jaw-dropping carrying tool, well-rounded tool set doesn't play into consistent top-of-the-league production; high-floor player, safe bet to develop into an above-average regular.

SUMMARY: Polished college bat was best in class; potential impact cornerstone piece and long-term big leaguer. Middle-of-the-order offensive upside for average and power; average glove with a solid arm; best position is third base, versatility to second.
