Scouting Report
Is quite fast and has the ability to steal bases (whether up or down in the batting order). Can track down plenty of balls in the outfield, and can even play center field. Has improved his power numbers over time. Hits down on the ball often, which can limit his power numbers in the big leagues. His arm is not good enough for right field, and probably better suited for left than center field in Major League Baseball.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, table-setting outfielder.
