| Summary: Addison is a left-handed hitter whose balanced, fluid stroke and advanced barrel feel give the offensive profile a legitimate foundation on both sides of the evaluation. The compact swing generates pull-side pop while maintaining the ability to drive the ball to all fields, and the zone control and improving contact rates give the hit tool a floor that holds up as the competition level rises. The power projection gives the ceiling room to grow as the lean, athletic frame adds strength — both the hit tool and the emerging pop carry equal weight in the evaluation. Defensively, he fits at shortstop and will get every opportunity to stay there. The arm and athleticism support the position, and the smooth actions and feel for the dirt give the defensive profile enough to work with at the premium spot. The natural landing spot if and when the frame fills out and the profile matures is third base, where the arm plays comfortably and the offensive tools carry the full weight of a corner profile. The overall package is that of a bat-first infielder with defensive versatility and a power-hit blend that gives the profile multiple paths to everyday value. The physical development at the plate will determine how quickly the ceiling comes into focus. | |||||||||||
