Scouting Report
Has a very good bat in the minors, including pretty good pop and switch-hitting ability. Runs pretty well, too. Defensively, he is versatile enough to play all over the field. Struggles as a right-handed batter in MLB, especially in terms of striking out too much. Also displays only average tools for the infield, and may be better off in the outfield.
Long Range Potential: Versatile switch-hitter.
