Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has speed to burn, which he uses effectively both in center field and on the base-paths. Can become a quality hitter for average over time.
Flaws
  • Strikes out a little too much for a top-of-the-order hitter. Struggles against left-handed pitching and needs to make more contact on the ground.
Career Potential
  • A leadoff catalyst in center field.
