Scouting Report
Has ridiculously good speed and supreme quickness down the line to first base. Is an elite base-stealer who puts a ton of pressure on defenses. He is also becoming a more patient hitter at the dish, which can only help him. Struggles to hit for average with consistency, which limits his base-stealing impact. Also, he lacks power (mainly because of his slight frame). Nagging injuries can be a problem too, and take away some of his aggressiveness.
Long Range Potential: Ultra-speedy, inconsistent outfielder.
