| Summary: One of the many draft eligible sophomores in 2024 that came back to school in 2025, he was ranked 195 for me a season ago, and he has improved his average this year significantly, although the power numbers have ticked down a good amount. That said, in terms of pure raw power, there might not be a player in the whole draft class with more. He is not selling out to get to that power this year, and using the whole field better, which is why the pure slugging output has decreased, but the total package at the dish is much more polished. Defensively, he has a cannon of an arm which is why he has seen time in the outfield, but the lack of foot speed just isn’t feasible there, and he isn’t a great defender at first either. Ultimately, there is a ton of DH only risk here, so the bat has to carry him, luckily he has a ton of bat to work with. | |||||||||||
