Scouting Report

Assets
  • Hustle is his strongest suit. Makes consistent contact and hits well with runners in scoring position--especially against lefties. Is a good outfielder.
Flaws
  • His walk/strikeout ratio is not what teams look for from the leadoff spot. A lot of his offensive struggles occur against finesse pitchers and righties.
Career Potential
  • A quality platoon or fourth outfielder.
