Scouting Report

Assets
  • Shows some good power and runs reasonably well for a corner infielder. Is a sound defender at third base, but can also play in the outfield.
Flaws
  • An undisciplined hitter, he will chase pitches off the plate and tends to freeze up with runners in scoring position. Struggles against righties.
Career Potential
  • A mediocre everyday third baseman or utility player.
