MLB ETA	Risk Factor	OFP	Video
2018	High	60	No

Tool	Future Grade	Report
Hit	60	Open stance, low hands at start of swing create hole up and in, some swing-and-miss, has the hand-eye coordination to cover; compact stroke, all-fields approach; selective hitter, commands the strike zone, recognizes spin
Power	55	Plus bat speed, leveraged swing; plus raw power, drives the ball to the opposite field; will be an extra base threat at the highest level
Baserunning/Speed	40	4.30, 4.25 times to first, 5.01 on a turn, fringe-average speed at present will play a tick down as he ages and adds mass; not a factor on the base paths
Glove	50	Quick hands, good actions, smooth glove; below-average range, stiff lower-half, below-average foot speed; shows some feel around the bag on double plays, will be a steady defender at second
Arm	50	Average arm strength, accurate throws, quick release, will play to average at second

Diaz profiles as a selective hitter who has plus zone command and bat-to-ball skills. He has moderate strength in his swing and will hit for power and average at the highest level. There is a high amount of risk with the player, as he has a considerable amount of swing-and-miss to his offense-reliant game. He is not a special defender, though he shows a steady glove and he has the bat to carry him to a plus profile.
