Scouting Report

Assets
  • A sound infielder with good range, he has the heart of a lion between the lines. Runs the bases with aggression and possesses excellent fundamentals.
Flaws
  • Hits with minimal power and sometimes has trouble getting around on 90-plus m.p.h fastballs. Is too pull-conscious at times.
Career Potential
  • A reliable utility infielder.
