"He's a 6'3', 195-pound prospect that both bats and throws left-handed. In his freshman year at Duke hitting .305/.440/.559 with 14 homers and 14 doubles, as well as 48 walks to 55 strikeouts in 278 plate appearances. He followed it up by hitting .293/.449/.558 with 15 homers, 10 doubles, and 57 walks to just 36 strikeouts in 285 plate appearances. He has also added 13 steals in 15 attempts between the years."
"His plus power is definitely his best tool, but he also has a chance to be an above average hitter - which is definitely possible based on the way he cut down on his strikeouts last year while continuing to walk at a high rate. He has messed with his swing mechanics a bit and did have some cold spells, but showing he could tinker with them and get right in season is definitely a plus for his feel as a hitter."

He added 13 steals in 15 attempts across those seasons. His primary tool is plus power and he also shows strong plate discipline and feel, aided by successful in-season swing adjustments. Defensively he is an average runner with a fringy arm, possessing solid instincts and potential to stick in center but likely moving to a corner.
