Scouting Report

Assets
  • A good athlete with a smooth stroke, he shows a strong mix of patience and power at the dish and has enough speed to steal some bases. Possesses good defensive instincts with the range and arm to play all three outfield spots.
Flaws
  • He took a while to develop into a major league player, in part due to a proneness to injury. Can keep improving his base-running. Struggles with consistency.
Career Potential
  • Sweet-swinging outfielder.
  • AwardsNamed to the All-Star Game
