Scouting Report

Assets
  • His best assets are intangibles, like desire, work ethic and instincts. He's a strong base-runner and is a good defender around the infield and outfield.
Flaws
  • None of his tangible tools are great. Most of his offensive struggles come against righties. Lacks consistency at the dish.
Career Potential
  • A quality utility man.
