What exactly are you looking for?
As a 19 yr old in AA (Well below age) he managed a .452 SLG%, a .368 OBP and a nearly 1-1 BB/K ratio. His 14 HRs are more than respectable for a kid that young at that level.
He's 6'0'' with a broad build; he'll fill out to be about 200 lbs by the time he's in his mid-20s.
He has a very advanced approach, a good build and a great pedigree. I'd be shocked if he didn't end up a 15-20 HR SS with a .300/.375/.450 kinda line as he matures. He may not end up as a GGer, but close. Definitely a plus defender.
If the kid played LF, he wouldn't be amazing. But he doesn't. He plays the thinnest position in baseball right now and one where we have a
gaping hole. If you can get solid 5 category production from him, you're well ahead of anyone else.
