Scouting Report
A consistent switch-hitter from both sides of the plate, he lined the ball into the gaps with regularity. Was an outstanding defensive outfielder with a strong, accurate arm. Lacked consistency from year to year and did not make enough adjustments to pitchers. Also, he was not assertive enough at the plate. Was also prone to injury.
Long Range Potential: Solid switch-hitting outfielder (when healthy).
