Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has blazing speed and knows how to use it. Works hard to better himself in all aspects of the game--in particular the mechanics of his swing and his power.
Flaws
  • Strikeouts are still a problem for him, and he also needs to learn how to draw more walks. In left field, he doesn't have much of an arm.
Career Potential
  • An all-around offensive threat, especially on base.
