Ethan is a true offensive catalyst—high contact, elite on-base skills, and advanced plate discipline. With a career .315 BA and .427 OBP, he consistently produces quality at-bats and forces pitchers to compete in the zone. In his professional rookie debut season, he posted an extraordinary 1.000 BB/K ratio, underscoring his elite command of the strike zone and rare maturity at the plate. He controls counts, makes consistent hard contact, and rarely chases.

What separates Ethan from nearly every other prospect is his conversion rate: he produces runs in over 30% of his plate appearances. An unprecedented level of productivity reflecting his rare blend of contact skills, speed, and game IQ. Every time he steps in the box, he’s a legitimate scoring threat. Ethan doesn’t just reach base—he manufactures offense. Managers seeking a top-of-the-order spark or a reliable run generator will find uncommon value in his ability to turn plate appearances into production with consistency and intent.

Elite, Game-changing speed:

Ethan’s speed isn’t just fast—it’s a weapon. Unlike most players who plateau as they mature, Ethan has only gotten quicker, developing into one of the fastest runners in the country. His average sprint speed of 30.2 ft/sec ranks him in the top 0.4% nationally and puts him side by side with the very best in Major League Baseball.

Clocked at 6.28 seconds in the 60-yard dash, Ethan is not only a burner but also a highly intelligent base runner. His instincts, reads, and jumps translate raw speed into real production. Across his amateur/pro career he has piled up (119) stolen bases and crossed home plate (211) times in only (717) plate appearances — a relentless sparkplug who turns singles into doubles, doubles into runs, and pressure into mistakes for opposing defenses. For any team, Ethan’s speed isn’t just an attribute — it’s a difference maker.

Dynamic & Versatile Defender:

Ethan’s defensive game draws natural comparisons to players like Mookie Betts—explosive first steps, elite range, and a reliable arm that makes plays from anywhere on the field. Originally a middle infielder, Ethan seamlessly shifted to center field in his junior collegiate season, where he quickly proved his adaptability with a string of highlight-reel catches and gap-closing speed.

Most importantly, Ethan’s defense is backed by results. In his professional rookie debut in the Frontier League, he posted a flawless 1.000 fielding percentage with zero errors, leading his team and proving he can handle pressure at the next level.

What makes Ethan stand out is his true utility value: he’s a defender you can plug into any outfield/infield spot without missing a beat. His glove doesn’t just hold its own—it creates outs that many players can’t.

For any team looking to maximize lineup flexibility while keeping a run-producing spark in the order, Ethan is the kind of defender who raises the standard everywhere he plays.

Scouting Report

HIT: 50/60

Textbook contact hitter with a tight and compact swing. Very consistent at the plate with impressive hand-eye coordination and bat-to-ball skills; uses entire field; adept at weighting back and driving secondary pitches; rarely strikes out swinging due to advanced feel for strike zone; With a current wOBA of .428 he knows how to put the ball in play and let his speed take over. With continued development, there is every reason to believe he will become a plus hitter.

POWER: 40/50

Power will likely not be a notable part of his game; more likely to produce consistent extra-base pop, legging out a high number of doubles and triples each season. However, it is important to note that Ethan is an extremely late bloomer with a rapidly increasing strength index of late. In-game recorded exit velo's jumped from 87mph to 96mph over the past 12 months. Nonetheless, he will likely not exceed single or low double-digit home run totals in a given season.

RUN: 80

Elite runner whose speed plays incredibly well on the base path as well as the field; showing incredible range in a variety of situations. Advanced base stealer who knows how to read pitchers and get good jumps; takes aggressive leads consistently; always looking to take an extra base. Defensively, Ethan kicks into a rarely exposed gear when tracking down impossible-to-catch balls. One of the fastest players in all of baseball at any level.

ARM: 55/60

Arm strength is slightly above average (90mph), but more importantly, it’s consistently improving every season with no reason not to believe it won’t cap out at ~95mph as Ethan continues to develop. As impressive as his velo is, his quick twitch movements and compact arm action often give him a 3-5mph advantage over harder throwing position players.

FIELD: 60

Quick twitch athleticism and elite range, coupled with very clean actions and transfer, place Ethan in an above-average category for fielding and generating outs potential. Versatility is what makes him a Plus defender as there is little doubt he has the developing skill to stick a long-term MIF position, but his range thanks to quick feet and 80-grade wheels, make him a dual threat in the outfield or infield.

OVERALL: 55/60

Late bloomer with a rapidly increasing strength index and extremely high ceiling that has not come into clear focus yet. A developing 4-tool player today, with fringe 5-tool capability based on his "wait and see" power development! An exceptional natural athlete, Ethan is a textbook utility player with a rare ability to plug in and eventually perfect any new role assigned to him. He is top to bottom a baseball player.
