Plan for 2027

  1. 1
    Health medical first Medical clearance before any development work

    Injury not stated (on the Single-A injured list since Jun 28; the 60-day IL since Aug 6; still on it today). Every other goal on this plan starts after the medical staff clears him.

    Health & Workload
  2. 2
    Contact high ask Make more contact on strikes

    Zone contact ranks in the 4th percentile of the Florida State League hitters (150+ PA). The target beats regression to the mean: it is his expected next season with no plan (a value this far from the Bradenton (FSL) median tends to come back part of the way) plus the step a quarter of similar players beat. At 21, he’s about 3 years younger than the typical Bradenton (FSL) player, so the level median is a high bar.

    Zone contact: 67% target 74% no plan ≈ 72% Check at the 2027 All-Star break · noise then ±3% If he moves up to High-A Greensboro or Double-A Altoona, there’s no public pitch tracking: check his strikeout rate (K%) in box scores instead. There’s no level-adjusted target, because box scores don’t carry this goal’s measure; the club’s own tracking does. Bradenton (FSL) tracking

Each goal is checked when his sample can tell the target from noise: the 2027 All-Star break if it can by then, else season’s end or the sample it needs; if no single season can, it’s a lean. Coach card
