Scouting Report

Assets	Has plenty of athleticism and enough arm to play on the left side of the infield. Displays untapped five-tool upside, especially an intriguing speed/power package on offense.
Flaws	Makes a lot of mental mistakes afield. Lacks consistency at the dish. Needs to make better use of his physical gifts. Strikes out way too much for someone without big-time power.
Career potential	Athletic, versatile infielder.
