Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a strong defensive infielder with plenty of versatility with the glove. A fairly speedy switch-hitter, he has the potential to hit for average from both sides of the plate.
Flaws
  • Doesn't have much power at all, which makes his high strikeout totals hard to ignore. Doesn't walk much, either. Also needs more work on his base-running.
Career Potential
  • Backup middle infielder.
  • Awards
