Scouting Report

Assets
  • For a slim middle infielder, he has some surprising pop in this bat. He has good speed and is very aggressive on the base-paths.
Flaws
  • He doesn't have the range you like to see in a shortstop and occasionally seems to lack focus in the field, but can also be phenomenal on D. Though he does have good speed, he could do with a lesson in reading pitchers' moves.
Career Potential
  • One of the game's better overall shortstops.
