Scouting Report

Assets
  • Betemit is a naturally gifted contact hitter who consistently puts the ball in play. Has occasional power from both sides of the plate and is versatile.
Flaws
  • Though he makes contact, he could use some seasoning in the area of strike-zone judgment. Struggles against southpaws. Hasn't lived up to expectations.
Career Potential
  • A solid utility infielder.
