Scouting Report

Assets
  • An incredible athlete with an impressive combination of speed and power.
Flaws
  • Too free a swinger at the plate and strikes out far too much, which contributes to a low batting average. Needs work on focus and fundamentals.
Career Potential
  • Above-average center fielder, if he can find consistency.
