Scouting Report
Boasted great hustle, base-swiping ability and strong base-running skills, in general. Could slap the ball into the gaps for extra bases and was pretty good in the clutch. Could also take some walks. Struck out more than you'd like to see from a speedster without much power. Struggled to hit with consistency, especially against southpaws. Did not have the arm to play center field very well.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, table-setting outfielder.
