Scouting Report
Was a very patient batter who loved to take walks and had the pop to pile up doubles and a few dingers. Athletic, he could play any outfield position well. Despite great plate patience, he only made decent contact as a batter and didn't have a lot of home-run power. Could also be quite streaky at the plate.
Long Range Potential: Versatile outfielder with on-base skills.
