Scouting Report

AssetsIs a strong defensive infielder with plenty of versatility with the glove. A fairly speedy switch-hitter, he has the potential to hit for average from both sides of the plate.
FlawsDoesn't have much power at all, which makes his high strikeout totals hard to ignore. Doesn't walk much, either. Also needs more work on his base-running.
Career potentialBackup middle infielder.
