Scouting Report
Is a good hitter with plenty of power for an infielder, plus the versatility to play shortstop, second and third base. He owns enough arm strength to remain on the left side of the infield. Has good instincts and is a smart hitter. An aggressive hitter, he could stand to improve his walk/strikeout ratio in order to maximize output in Major League Baseball. Also, he might not have enough range to stick as a big-league shortstop over the long haul.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile infielder with a little upside.
