Scouting Report

Assets
  • His quick swing produces line drives all over the field, and his great speed turns doubles into triples. Has emerging power and a strong arm in right field.
Flaws
  • Needs to improve his overall consistency, since he falls into deep batting ruts over the course of the season. Isn't patient enough at the plate.
Career Potential
  • A budding star right-fielder.
