Scouting Report
Boasted decent plate discipline and run-producing qualities, not to mention decent speed on the bases. Hit especially well against left-handed pitching. Had the strength to hit the ball out of the park more often, but struggled with his consistency. On defense, he did not have a strong throwing arm in the outfield.
Long Range Potential: Depth outfielder.
