Tells You He's Doing More

This is what his official scouting report has to say:
It looks like OSA is selling Tingle a littler short here. Going into his age 20 season he has elite defensive ratings right now and is pretty close to a fully developed hitter. How he comes by that world class outfield range is a bit of a puzzle, though, given that 3 Speed.[Tingle] has all the tools to be a premium defensive center fielder. He understands the strike zone and should use that to his advantage. He projects to be able to consistently put the barrel of the bat on the ball. Tingle can be a second division starter at center fielder.
What gives one pause with Tingle is the recent injury history; a torn labrum suffered in June of 2054 that kept him out of the entirety of the 2055 season. The injury itself seems to have hurt him a little bit with respect to his outfield arm rating, which dropped from 7 to 6. Not ideal, and further slippage here might see Tingle migrating to left field, where you look at those batting ratings, particularly the slightly below average power, in a less sympathetic light. The fact that it took a full seventeen months for Tingle to fully rehab that shoulder is a bummer, but he's not a pitcher. The strain put on that arm consequently won't be comparable to a pitcher's going forward, so you don't worry about reinjury too much.
If Ragheb Burhan continues to play his way out of the Bluebirds lineup, we may see Tingle ranging around Les Paul Field sooner rather than later. Performance this season early in AAA should tell us where he is headed.
The most recent scout evaluation has Tingle's future value set at 60 with potential ratings of 7/4/8. He should get on base often enough, though he'll be a station to station runner when he gets there. Tingle is currently not in the top 100 prospects list, and is the #8 overall (and #5 position player prospect) in the Bluebirds organization.
Tingle puts in the work, with green Work Ethic.
