Charles, who turns 21 in November, logged 186 games at Single-A across the past two seasons before earning the bump to High-A. He entered pro ball as a very raw hitter, which is why he lags behind other position players from his class, but Charles has the type of upside worth waiting on. A 6-foot-5 infielder who split time at third base and shortstop this season, Charles is a plus runner who could grow into plus raw power as he continues to fill out his frame and improve his craft as a hitter. His 25.8 percent strikeout rate and 69.5 percent contact rate at Single-A are still relatively poor, given his age, so Charles may spend significant time at High-A before getting a bump to Double-A.
