Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has excellent patience at the plate and smart base-running skills. Can spray the ball all over the field with a little bit of pop. Is a great defender.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have any one offensive skill that sticks out, which limits his numbers at the end of the season. Should steal more bases.
Career Potential
  • A defense-first second baseman.
