Scouting Report

Assets
  • His impressive bat speed portends rapidly-growing power. He's starting to be able to hit the ball the other way with regularity and has decent speed. On defense, he's quite sound.
Flaws
  • Needs to gain some consistency at the plate and keep his bat going late in the season.
Career Potential
  • Not quite an all-star at the hot corner, but good.
