Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has speed to burn, which he translates into elite defensive play in center field and elite stolen-base numbers. Has developed into a solid hitter for average and he can score a lot of runs.
Flaws
  • Posts massive strikeout numbers for a player who has little power; would benefit a lot from a different approach at the dish. Despite all his free swinging, he is also not much of an RBI threat.
Career Potential
  • Star defensive center-fielder & base-stealer.
  • AwardsNL - Rawlings Gold Glove AwardNamed to the All-Star GameNL - Rawlings Gold Glove Award
