Scouting Report

Assets
  • Hits very well against left-handed pitching. Can play all three outfield positions with aplomb. Is also a capable pinch-hitter.
Flaws
  • Lacks the power teams look for in their starting outfielders. Doesn't hit right-handed pitching well enough to earn an everyday role.
Career Potential
  • A solid fourth outfielder.
