Scout’s note
The second overall pick of 2019 out of Colleyville, Texas owns a .289 career average, 178 steals, and a 2024 season (.332, 32 homers) that announced the ceiling. In 2026 the results still sit below the contact: 111 mph EV95 across 279 balls in play, among the best-sampled loud contact in the league. The engine's read: the next gear is already loaded.
