Scouting Report

Assets
  • A good run-producer. Brings a solid power bat and above-average plate coverage to the dish. Has good mobility on the basepaths and in the field.
Flaws
  • He's good at pretty much everything but not great at anything. Can be a little too streaky at times. Doesn't draw enough bases on balls.
Career Potential
  • An average starting third baseman.
