Scouting Report
Was a natural run producer. Had great instincts on the field, superb intensity and a big, strong frame. Worked hard on his game and always led by example with his hustle. Could at times struggle with his overall level of discipline (at the plate, in the field and on base). Also, he was a bit too streaky with the bat and could go into prolonged slumps. Did not walk much but his plate coverage was better than average and he was a tough out.
Long Range Potential: Quality run producer and energetic outfielder.
