A 5-foot-8, 170-pound left-handed two-way prospect, Dalton shows a balanced profile with some present strength at the plate and a clean left-handed swing that produced an 83 mph max exit velocity (285’ peak, 74.2 avg). Defensively, he moves well in the outfield with a 75 mph arm that also translates to the mound, where he works in the low-70s and touches 74 mph with feel for a 63–65 mph breaking ball that spins near 2,000 rpm. A 7.60 runner, Dalton is more steady than explosive right now, but he shows useful two-way traits and a left-handed profile that could make jumps with physical development.
