Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can pound southpaws with regularity. Has better range and speed than you'd expect from a big corner infielder. Is a good bench guy.
Flaws
  • Has a lot of trouble with off-speed stuff, and his penchant for swinging at the first pitch keeps his on-base percentage down. Is a notoriously slow starter.
Career Potential
  • A platoon or backup corner infielder.
