Scouting Report

Assets
  • Knows how to field the ball at the infield corners. At the plate, he has a fairly consistent bat with good power and run production.
Flaws
  • Strikes out a bit too much for his power level and doesn't walk enough. Can't seem to hit consistently well enough to secure regular at-bats.
Career Potential
  • A solid utility man who can play every day.
