Scouting Report

Assets
  • Made consistent contact to all parts of the field, and had incredible patience at the plate. Didn't strike out a lot, either. Was also a steady fielder.
Flaws
  • Didn't have the power normally associated with the right-field position, especially against southpaws. Was also not a natural run-producer and lacked consistent RBI totals.
Career Potential
  • On-base machine from right field.
