Scouting Report

Assets
  • For a speed-first player, he can drive the ball hard to all fields. Displays a good eye and bat control. Has range and a good arm in the infield and outfield.
Flaws
  • He's often fooled by fastballs up in the zone. Falls flat in clutch situations. Doesn't hit consistently well enough to play every day.
Career Potential
  • A solid utility man.
