Scouting Report

AssetsA converted shortstop, his athletic ability has allowed for a smooth transition to the outfield. Displays both power and speed. Can still play in the infield, if required.
FlawsStrikes out a little too often and doesn't counter that with enough walks, so he isn't very consistent at the dish. Is also prone to mental mistakes no matter where he plays.
Career potentialVersatile backup.
