Scouting Report
A former shortstop, he is a very good athlete with base-stealing acumen and some emerging home-run power. Also displays range and a strong throwing arm in the outfield. At times, he can be too aggressive when attempting to steal bases (he needs to become more efficient). Makes too many errors and looks a bit stiff when he plays shortstop.
Long Range Potential: Athletic utility man.
