Scouting Report
Athletic, he has a fluid left-handed swing that drives the ball to all fields for doubles. Is patient at the plate and makes contact. Has a strong arm and good defensive instincts for any outfield position. Does not take full advantage of his above-average athletic tools. Lacks consistency. His home run power seems to still be in the developmental stage. Also, he is somewhat prone to getting hurt.
Long Range Potential: Athletic, depth outfielder.
