Scouting Report
Was excellent defensively in center field and a great athlete in general. Possessed a good power bat and was also willing to take a walk in the big leagues. Also, he was regular threat for stolen bases late into his career. Was simply too all-or-nothing at the plate, resulting in alarming strikeout rates and a low batting average. Never scored as much or produced the runs he may have considering his tools, mainly because of his approach.
Long Range Potential: Athletic power hitter and great defensive outfielder.
