I think his upside is more than that. Mainly because if he hits even a little bit, with his defense, he is going to be league average. If he actually hits just average for a shortstop, he will be an above average player.
Again, his upside is more than some are giving him credit for. During his freshman season, scouts were projecting him as a future Top 5 overall pick.
