Comments:
Interesting athletic player who should provide flexibility. Wiry strong build. Strong forearms and
hands. Built similar to Orlando Hudson. Live, athletic body with gd body control in his lower 1/2.
Sets up slightly closed @ plate. Gets foot down early and slaps ball. Good hit and run guy, solid
hand eye coord. can throw hands at ball and put it in play. Ball comes off bat softly. No strength
in swing. Struggles to get ball into gap. Plate discipline questionable at times. Front foot/off
balance on occ. Trouble getting around on avg to gd FB. Power potential limited with age and lack
of pure strength/WBA raw power. Doubles won't turn into HR @ this point in career. See him
hitting for same power he currently does, a couple HR/year with doubles of the hustle variety.
Plus runner who should run the bases well down the line. Drag/Push speed. Capable defender all
over the field. Can play all 3 OF positions and 3 INF as well. Soft hands and solid range and
accurate if below avg arm play best @ 2B but intriguing in CF where he shows good instincts and
routes. Bat won't carry him to big leagues. Should get to AAA on versatility and have a quality
AAA career playing all over the field.
