Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has speed to burn and the ability to steal bases. Makes consistent contact to all fields and can lead off. Is a capable defender in center field.
Flaws
  • Isn't patient enough to draw a lot of walks at the Major League level. May be a little too streaky at the dish to play every day.
Career Potential
  • A solid backup center-fielder.
