Notes
Quick bat.
Wraps it a little strange on a high follow-thru at times.
Smooth swing, slows down when going oppo.
Sees ball early. Decides where to hit it. Goes with pitch well.
Gets good jumps on basepaths. Not particularly fast. 55 speed may be generous
Reminds me of Kelenic in that he’s not an explosive athlete, tries to leverage his body when hitting for power. Much better hitter with less raw power. Bat to ball is elite whereas Kelenic obviously is currently average at best. Similar questions about speed, explosiveness, and ability to stay in CF
Elbow a little high on the load. Bat is parallel to the ground. Slight toe tap.
Max effort to tap into power. Great hitter though
Could walk a little less in Majors due to pitchers challenging with strikes bc less worried about his power.
Lots of extra base hits could fill out OPS without HRs.
Future batting champion
Peak could be .320/.400/.500 with 25 HR, 15 SB.
Not an elite fantasy OF but could be a 10 year low end OF1/high OF2
Only question is power potential. If brings he brings GB% down a bit and gets stronger he could tap into more power. Assumption here is that he remains .300+ hitter with average pop.
