Scouting Report

Assets
  • A lanky shortstop with pretty good range. At the plate he makes good contact with gap power. A good athlete.
Flaws
  • For a guy his size he doesn't have a lot of pop in his bat. Is error-prone defensively. Doesn't make very good use of his speed on the basepaths.
Career Potential
  • Solid infielder.
