Scouting Report

AssetsHas great speed and is also a solid hitter overall. Displays patience at the dish. Can also run down a ton of fly balls in the outfield. Is an adept base-stealer.
FlawsDoesn't have a lot of home-run power, so his big-league role is reduced to that of a table-setter. Strikes out a bit too much for a top-of-the-order hitter.
Career potentialSpeedy table-setter and outfielder.
