Scouting Report

Assets	Is supremely fast and is a very active base-stealer. Displays a consistent approach at the plate and can get on base fairly regularly (with singles and some walks) when on his game. Has a very good arm in the outfield.
Flaws	Is mostly a slap-hitter at the plate and provides little power for even doubles. Gets caught a little too much trying to steal and needs more work on his technique.
Career potential	Speedy outfielder.
