Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	50	Hits from a slightly crouched, even stance, average bat speed, hands are low at set, so can be suspect against pitches up. Tendency to cut himself off in swing, can get over-aggressive at times and swing at early pitches in the count. Made hard contact in viewing, lacked discipline and can doesn't work many counts, future average hitter.
Power	30	Below-average raw power, lacks strength in frame as well as wrists/hands, can take a ball out pullside but most power will be of the extra-base variety.
Baserunning/Speed	55	Above-average runner, consistent 4.25 down the line, have not seen steal a base, gets up to speed quickly and runs the bases well.
Glove	60	Quality defender at short. Quick reactions and instincts at the position, gets self into position with quality footwork and soft hands, works well on the backhand, seen in one game in outfield, did not look comfortable and had not appeared at position in minors.
Arm	60	Plus throwing arm, strong arc and line on throws, has arm strength to play other positions if needed.

See as an everyday glove-first regular at shortstop, 22 y/o R/R, plus defender that can make all the plays and can appear at other positions if needed. Bat won't ever be known for power but project as an average hitter, moderate interest, would acquire.
