Scouting Report

Assets
  • Perhaps his best asset is his defensive versatility, able to play anywhere in the infield or outfield. He's not a big guy but has a little power and knows his way around the bases better than most.
Flaws
  • He's the prototypical strong minor-league-caliber hitter who can't hit a big-league breaking ball. That, combined with a lack of patience at the plate, give him a low on-base percentage.
Career Potential
  • A nice asset to have on the bench.
