Scouting Report

Assets
  • An athletic player, he puts his all into everything he does on the field. Excels at small ball: Bunting, running and playing excellent defense.
Flaws
  • Has been known to play too hard at times, which leads to injuries. As a switch-hitter, he's extremely mediocre from the left side of the plate.
Career Potential
  • A reliable utility infielder.
