Scouting Report

Assets
  • Speed is his greatest asset. When he's at his best, he's setting the table at the top of the batting order for the big boppers at lower levels. He's also capable of playing good defense.
Flaws
  • Strikes out too much for a hitter with modest power potential. Needs more work on his concentration when in the field, since he commits too many errors. Also lacks consistency.
Career Potential
  • Backup utility infielder.
  • AwardsInternational League (AAA) - All-Star TeamCarolina League (A) - All-Star Team
