Scouting Report

Assets
  • Packs a little power into his smallish frame, along with some speed. He's a versatile fielder. At the plate, he jumps on first-pitch fastballs.
Flaws
  • Swings a little too freely at the plate, walking rarely and striking out often. Has never been able to find a defensive position to call his own.
Career Potential
  • A solid utility man.
