Released (March 2018)

Physical Description: Undersized, athletic. Small frame, minimal remaining projection.

Hit: Starts vertical and open, closes down on approach. Strong contact skills. Short swing path. All-fields approach, looks to slap the ball and put it in play. Makes a lot of weak contact. Minimal swing-and-miss. Solid on-base skills, understands the strike zone.

Power: No over-the-fence power. Swing is tailored to contact, not driving the ball over the fence. 

Arm: Fringe-average arm strength.

Field: Can play all three outfield positions. Solid instincts and range. Not a stand-out defender, but will make the plays. Projects as a solid-average defender.

Run: Plus speed. Runs out everything to put pressure on the defense.

Summation: Projects as a depth outfielder in the low minors. Defensive versatility will prove useful, but lack of potential at the plate limits upside. Could stick around for a few years in the low minors and get a cup of coffee in a backup role in the high minors. Professional approach, type of player every organization needs.
