Comments: Defensive minded MIF who has tools and skills to play SS in pro ball. Small-Med. frame, not overly strong. Will get heavier and slower in lower 1/2 over time. Slow line drive swing produces soft contact. Low finish not conducive to power and hard contact. No plate discipline. Not a hitter. Fringy runner. Raw arm strength is fringe avg for SS but plays avg due to a quick release. Feet play well @ SS as he has gd enuf range to make the routine play. Hands soft.Not flashy but gets the job done. Should get to AA on the strength of his defensive abilities but they are not gd enuf to look past what little he brings from the offensive side.
