Useful current-status upper-minors snapshot, but this reads more like comeback or depth context than a normal prospect projection.

Impact damage

If the power keeps showing up without a strikeout spike, the ceiling can move another tier.

Needs more than level survival

Summary

This row is better read as current-status or comeback context than as a normal prospect projection. Above Average Skill and limited 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.
