Scouting Report

Assets
  • A line-drive hitter, he has above-average skills in pretty much every offensive category and is also an above-average defensive outfielder.
Flaws
  • Has some trouble against southpaws. Still has to cut down on his strikeout total in order to maximize his potential. Needs to read pitchers better.
Career Potential
  • An excellent leadoff man and center-fielder.
