Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has two major assets. First, he's developed a great eye at the plate in an effort to get himself on base more frequently. Second, he has good speed and base-stealing skills.
Flaws
  • The reason he had to develop a patient eye at the plate was because his bat is just not going to get him on base. Even worse for a utility infielder, he's very prone to making errors on the field.
Career Potential
  • A streaky utility man.
