Physical/Health

Porter is big. Weight is a concern. Strong kid, but it's a much thicker lower half than you see from most major leaguers on the left side of the infield. Could probably stand to lose 30+ pounds.

Tool | Future Grade | Report

Hit | 60 | Decent mechanics. Good bat speed. Chases pitches. Fly ball hitter. Gets behind in the count.

Power | 65 | Plus to plus plus power potential for sure. An absolute danger to any fastball he zones ahead in the count. 25-30 home run guy at peak. The bat makes THAT sound.

Baserunning/Speed | 35 | Clocked 4.6 to 4.8. Not high effort down the line. Better second gear than you'd think going first to third. Speed is not going to be part of his game though.

Glove | 50 | Sneaky athletic, made a nice turn on a bad throw functionally playing shortstop on an over shift. Good stretch at third on a bunt force. Hands and instincts are fine. Could be above-average at first.

Arm | 70 | Plus-plus arm strength. Doesn't always get to all of it while on the move. Can be a bit scattershot.

Overall

Surprisingly agile at his size. Could be a plus glove if he gets in better shape. Great arm. Hard to imagine he stays at 3B long term but could be a huge asset offensively if he can maintain replacement level defense there. Could certainly beat the 2024 projection in the right situation.
