Scouting Report
Very athletic, he displays great speed and burgeoning power in his swing. Has good hands for both hitting and playing in the infield. Can make a major impact on a baseball field. Lacks optimum arm strength for the shortstop position. Must cut down on his number of errors to maximize output in Major League Baseball. Must also become a bit more selective.
Long Range Potential: Talented, speedy shortstop with good upside.
