Scouting Report
When on top of his game, he parlays excellent strike-zone judgment into a solid batting average (at any level). Versatile, he can play all three outfield positions. Is somewhat prone to injury. Struggles to hit left-handed pitching with any sort of regularity. Also, he is a bit limited in terms of his overall home-run power.
Long Range Potential: Solid outfielder with some upside.
