Scouting Report

AssetsA superb all-round athlete with good size, he can fly around the bases, has great range in the outfield with a good glove, and hits for a good average. Has a solid arm and some untapped home-run power.
FlawsSwings at too many bad pitches, leading to huge strikeout totals. Combines that with a lack of patience, so his walks total could also stand some improvement. Should steal more but is hesitant on the bases.
Career potentialAverage center-fielder and table-setter.
