Scouting Report

Assets
  • Ford plays hard, enabling him to rise above his pure skills. He's got good plate discipline, decent power and quick feet.
Flaws
  • He's got few glaring flaws at the plate, he just doesn't have any one tool that truly shines. His outfield arm won't quite scare anyone.
Career Potential
  • Steady fourth outfielder.
