Scouting Report

Assets
  • Despite mediocre power, he's become a good hitter with runners in scoring position. He has good range and a strong arm at third.
Flaws
  • Really likes to swing the bat and as a result he rarely hangs in for a base on balls. He often gets lost when behind in the count.
Career Potential
  • Reliable but not great at third base.
