Scouting Report
Is a versatile infielder capable of playing the shortstop position (due to a solid arm), plus the keystone and hot corner. Displays decent home-run power. Strikes out far too much, even in the minor leagues, so he will need to curb his penchant for whiffing in order to maximize playing time in the big leagues.
Long Range Potential: Versatile infielder with a little upside.
