Scouting Report

Assets
  • No question, his biggest asset is his blazing speed. Few players get around the bases or center field quicker than he can.
Flaws
  • While he has leadoff speed, he doesn't have anything near leadoff plate discipline and doesn't make contact often enough.
Career Potential
  • Backup outfielder.
