Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is able to smack line drives to all fields and even hit the long ball. Hits righties and lefties equally well, hustles and is fundamentally sound.
Flaws
  • Rarely walks and doesn't bunt well enough when placed in the No. 2 hole. Has some trouble hitting the breaking ball. Makes too many errors.
Career Potential
  • An all-star-caliber shortstop, but not a superstar.
