Scouting Report

Assets
  • His swing is quick and short, but still produces power. Has the discipline to take his share of walks and runs the bases well. Boasts a great outfield arm.
Flaws
  • Though he has decent speed, he's not a good base-stealer. Needs to hit better with nobody on base and also reduce his number of strikeouts.
Career Potential
  • A steady right-fielder.
