Scouting Report
An athletic player, he put his all into everything he did on the field. Excelled at small ball: bunting, running and playing excellent defense. Could play all over the infield. Was also a leader. Was known to play a bit too hard at times, which led to a lot of injuries. As a switch-hitter, he was far less effective from the left side of the plate. Didn't hit with enough consistency, overall.
Long Range Potential: Solid utility infielder and leader.
