Scouting Report

Assets
  • A very athletic player, he can smack the ball to all fields with solid power. Shows speed and quickness, especially in the outfield.
Flaws
  • Injuries and inconsistency have stalled his projected development. Seems to press at the plate, resulting in too many K's and a low batting average. Doesn't make the most of his speed.
Career Potential
  • A platoon center-fielder.
