Scouting Report

Assets
  • Makes consistent contact to all parts of the field, and has incredible patience at the plate. Doesn't strike out a lot, either. Is determined.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have the power normally associated with the right-field position, especially against southpaws. Is not a natural run-producer, either.
Career Potential
  • An on-base machine from right field.
