Scouting Report

Assets
  • Always ready to play, whether it is in a starting role or off the bench as a late-inning pinch-runner. He's a steady fielder and a good base-runner.
Flaws
  • Struggles against left-handers. His arm isn't going to scare anyone and he doesn't have great range in the field.
Career Potential
  • Found his niche as a quality utility man.
