Scouting Report

  • He has the range and positioning to be considered an above-average defensive outfielder, enabling him to play all three positions. Good speed and power.
Flaws
  • He must be guarded from all southpaws all the time. He has above-average speed but hasn't mastered the art of base stealing.
Career Potential
  • Was a good platoon outfielder, but fading.
