Scouting Report
A good athlete with a smooth stroke, he showed a strong mix of patience and power at the dish and had enough speed to steal some bases. Possessed good defensive instincts with the range and arm to play all three outfield spots. He took a while to develop into a major-league player, in part due to a proneness to injury. Lacked elite base-running instincts. Struggled with consistency at the plate.
Long Range Potential: Decent outfielder.
