Tool	Future Grade	Report

Power	55	Leveraged swing; good backspin on the ball; potential for plus raw power. Ability to turn on speed on the inner third with power. Approach will hinder power.
Baserunning/Speed	50	4.23-4.30 home to first; above average at present; likely to lose speed with added weight.
Glove	45	Above average range; quick first step; poor footwork; excessive choppy steps; lacked smoothness fielding glove side; better suited for 3B.
Arm	60	Plus arm strength; accurate throws. Arm strength suited for left side of infield.

Munoz has plus raw power potential to go along with above average barrel control and bat speed. However, the approach will limit his hit tool and power. Consistently made weak contact, and was chasing pitches in hitter's counts. Plus arm strength. Suited for the left side of the infield. Above average runner who will likely lose a step once he adds weight with maturity, and play down to average. Poor footwork defensively, much better suited for 3B. Interesting tools, but not sold on the SS profile in the future.
