Scouting Report
A good athlete, he is also adept at taking plenty of pitches and being ultra-selective at the dish. Also displays a decent power/speed combination. Is a good defensive outfielder, too. Could probably stand to be a little more aggressive at the plate, and swing at pitches a little earlier in the count, since he does strike out quite a bit too. Is prone to hitting slumps.
Long Range Potential: Athletic, selective journeyman outfielder.
