Scouting Report

Assets
  • A superb all-round athlete with good size, he can fly around the bases, has great range in the outfield with a good glove, and hits for a good average. Has a solid arm and home-run power potential.
Flaws
  • Swings at too many bad pitches, leading to huge strikeout totals. Combines that with a lack of patience, so his walks total could also stand improvement.
Career Potential
  • Center-fielder and table-setter with star tools.
  • AwardsInternational League (AAA) - Rookie of the Year
