Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has a steady glove around the infield and, though his bat is generally quiet, he shows surprising pop on occasion.
Flaws
  • Southpaws are a nightmare for him and he's not a good pinch-hitter at all. Also lacks the speed needed to make an offensive impact.
Career Potential
  • A utility infielder.
