Scouting Report

Assets
  • The switch-hitter has all the marks of a leadoff man, with great hustle combined with a steady swing and superb pitch judgment.
Flaws
  • There is fear that he could be a bit frail and anyone who races around the bases like he does will be especially susceptible to injury. He might be better off sticking to hitting left-handed.
Career Potential
  • Utility infielder at best.
