Scouting Report

Assets
  • Hustle is his strongest suit. Can murder first-pitch fastballs and makes good contact. Can also hit well with runners in scoring position--especially against lefties. Is a good and versatile outfielder. Also runs pretty well.
Flaws
  • Has struggled with offensive consistency over the years, which is the main reason why he isn't an everyday ball player. A lot of his struggles occur against finesse pitchers and right-handers.
Career Potential
  • Backup outfielder.
  • AwardsSouthern League (AA) - All-Star Team
