Scouting Report

AssetsMakes the most of his ability by hustling at all times. Can hit for a bit of power and also steal a few bases. Profiles nicely as a fourth outfielder.
FlawsIs undersized, so he is limited in all areas of the game. Lacks consistency at the dish, which doesn't help his chances in the long run.
Career potentialBackup outfielder.
