Scouting Report

Assets
  • A phenomenal athlete, he has a lanky frame with quick wrists, a great throwing arm and supreme speed. Is an above-average base-stealer and home-run hitter, and takes his share of walks.
Flaws
  • Has holes in his swing and takes a huge cut, so he piles up strikeouts. Isn't an efficient base-runner. Struggles with errors as a fielder, and generally lacks polish. Can also be a little temperamental.
Career Potential
  • Inconsistent, athletic outfielder with great tools.
