Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a true speedster that usually makes things happen when on base. Can bunt for base hits or to advance runners. Has team-first and leadership qualities.
Flaws
  • Has a reputation for hitting poorly against lefties. His bat isn't consistent enough to be an elite leadoff man. Tends to go into prolonged hitting funks.
Career Potential
  • A decent leadoff man.
