| Summary: Cuvet’s calling card is his elite raw power — he broke Miami’s freshman home run record and has already posted exit velocities north of 110 mph with natural backspin and carry to all fields. The right-handed swing is built for impact: quick, violent, and short to the ball with thunder through contact. He’s an ultra-aggressive hitter who looks to do damage early in counts and can ambush velocity, though swing decisions and chase tendencies against spin still leave room for refinement. When he shortens up with two strikes, the approach plays cleaner, and the raw strength still allows him to produce loud contact without selling out for it. Defensively, Cuvet’s plus arm strength and athletic actions give him a chance to stay at third base, though added physicality could push him across the diamond to first long-term. He’s a solid mover for his size with improving footwork and body control, and the arm alone ensures defensive value somewhere on the corner. The offensive ceiling, however, is what drives his profile — a middle-of-the-order masher with legitimate 70-grade power that plays to both gaps. With his size, bat speed, and production track record, Cuvet already looks the part of a professional run producer. If he continues to refine his approach and rein in the swing-and-miss tendencies against breaking stuff, he has every ingredient to become one of the most dangerous power bats in college baseball. | |||||||||||
