| Summary: I typically don’t like to put grades on players yet to play their Junior season of high school, yet, but it is a pretty easy projection for Emerson. While he does not draw a ton of walks, he does make a ton of contact. He has a calm, quiet setup in the box with a very efficient load that allows him to be ready to fire at all times. The plus hit tool is his best current, and likely best future, tool, but there are plenty of other big tools in the bag. I put an above-average power tool on him, although I do think there is a path to plus upside there. If he does get there, it will likely come with growth on the frame that could have him land at third rather than short, where his plus arm will be just fine. I do see some growth as it is a projectable frame making it a bit of a toss up whether he sticks at short or moves over to third, but the athleticism will allow him to remain at least an average runner. | |||||||||||
