Useful current-status upper-minors snapshot, but this reads more like comeback or depth context than a normal prospect projection. The calibration layer suggests a more hedged read than the baseline alone.

Platoon Player

Fan-facing translation of the archived read.

Archive Outlook

The current shape points more toward a platoon bat unless the secondary traits firm up.

Contact pressure

If the swing-and-miss keeps climbing, the projection slides toward a platoon or bench lane.

Game power

More real in-game damage would push this closer to an everyday or impact outcome.

Needs more than level survival

This has to look like real lineup impact, not just upper-minors competence, to stay in a stronger lane.

Summary

The calibration layer adds some restraint to the read here. This row is better read as current-status or comeback context than as a normal prospect projection. Average Skill and standard runway still describe the upper-minors snapshot, but the right baseball framing is roster depth, return path, or current utility rather than a new prospect-growth story.
