He was the 2019 NCAA home run leader and a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award. Selected with the No. 4 overall pick in the subsequent amateur draft, he received the challenging assignment of making his professional debut at the High-A level, then was prominently involved in big league spring training each of the last two years. He’s a consensus top-100 MLB prospect.
