Scouting Report
Was very fast and extremely aggressive as a base stealer. Was also patient at the plate and knew how to get on base. Displayed some pop in his bat. Was versatile enough to play several different positions in MLB. Struck out too much for someone with his speed. Therefore, he did not always benefit by making more contact. Could lose his focus at times. Never fully developed his situational hitting skills.
Long Range Potential: Speedy, versatile switch-hitting table setter.
