MLB ETA	Risk Factor	OFP	Video
2020	High	60	Yes

Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	60	Wide, balanced stance, hands start at back shoulder, slight backwards drift to start load; moderate load and high leg kick when in a favorable count, will widen stance, lessen load, and eliminate leg kick with two strikes; above-average bat speed, mild leverage; advanced approach, good command of strike zone, recognizes secondary offerings, stays balanced
Power	50	Ability to barrel baseball consistently, quality bat speed, pull-side power, projects to play to major-league average as body develops
Baserunning/Speed	60	High base-running IQ, will slow a grade as mass is added
Glove	50	Solid yet unspectacular, alert fielder, average range, gets consistent reads, soft hands, quick transfer; possible move to second base as growth occurs
Arm	50	Average arm for shortstop, solid-average for second base; accurate throws, hold their line

Bichette has plus zone command and bat-to-ball skills, and profiles to be a high-average, moderate-power hitter at the highest level. The defense and arm, while not spectacular, are sufficient for shortstop. There is a fair amount of risk, as he is young and far from the majors, but the tools are there to carry to a regular role with plus potential if everything maxes out
