Traded with Stanley Espinal to St. Louis for international amateur signing bonus pool space (July 2017)

Scouiting Report: Right-handed hitter with an average build. Some remaining projection. Starts square, utilizing a high leg kick. Bat wiggle right before swing disrupts timing. Fringy bat speed. Lacks athleticism, runs stiff. Well below-average speed. Slow feet, minimal range in the field. Soft hands and fluid actions. Average arm strength. Has some of the tools to stick at shortstop, but lack of range and athleticism could push him to second base or third base. Participated in 2016 Fall Instructional League.
