Scouting Report

Assets
  • Few human beings on the planet can out-run Gathright. He slaps the ball on the ground, making consistent contact.
Flaws
  • Doesn't walk enough to be the leadoff man he should be. He has no power at all and has a weak outfield arm.
Career Potential
  • Speedy fourth outfielder.
