Scouting Report

Assets
  • Conti is tough as nails and can drive the ball into the gaps, then hustle around the bases. He's an excellent defensive outfielder with a strong arm.
Flaws
  • His base-stealing ability has taken a nosedive in recent years and he strikes out more than you'd like.
Career Potential
  • Great in the minors but can't hit big-league pitching.
