Scouting Report

Assets
  • Uses his ability to make consistent contact to smack line drives into the gaps and then burn up the base-paths. Is a spectacular defender.
Flaws
  • Must become more consistent against right-handed pitching and with runners on. Needs to work on his base-stealing technique. Commits too many errors.
Career Potential
  • A quality everyday shortstop.
