Scouting Report

Assets
  • Productive offensively, he can disrupt the opposition with his speed and has pretty good power for a guy his size. Is willing to take free passes, helping him get on base. Displays a great arm at shortstop.
Flaws
  • Makes far too many errors at shortstop. Takes too big of a cut for a table-setter, leading to too many strikeouts and inconsistent batting averages. Is also injury-prone.
Career Potential
  • Veteran offensive shortstop.
