Scouting Report

Assets
  • Like older brother Corey, he has an impressive combination of speed and power. Is at his best when setting the table for the big boppers.
Flaws
  • Has yet to find his ideal position as a professional. Needs to cut down on his number of strikeouts and caught-stealings to maximize potential.
Career Potential
  • Utility man who can lead off.
