Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's got decent power to left, for a guy only 5-10, and he knows how to hustle around the bases and pick his spots to steal. He's got sharp eyes at the plate. Defensively, his strong arm and good range allow him to play all over the diamond.
Flaws
  • Almost everything he hits is pulled to the left side, which makes him easy to defend against. He's always struggled against righties.
Career Potential
  • A strong all-around utility guy.
