Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's a right-hander with the craftiness of a left-hander and he's very stingy with base hits. With runners on, he's able to concentrate on the batter and not let runners faze him.
Flaws
  • He too often throws the ball up in the zone, resulting in too many fly balls, the consequence of which, of course: taters. He doesn't have a great move to first so runners like to go.
Career Potential
  • Once a steady starter, but pretty much done.
