Statistically Speaking:
Work schedule cut short his 2017 season, but all five tools are still there. He has above-on base average from the left side and good plate discipline. His above-average speed is bolstered by good base-running instincts. He's a plus defender with an above -average arm in right center field, where he uses his speed well. His schedule is not expected to cause long-term problems.
Upside Potential:
Still just scratching the surface, but he still has every chance to be an elite out fielder that can do it all.
They Said It:
"He's the closest thing to a five-tool player that we've got. Defense is sometimes underrated and he's a very good defensive out fielder. He can go get the ball and has an above-average arm. You tend to focus on what he can do with the bat ... He's going to be a great hitter with some power, but the fact he can do that and play above-average defense in right center is the important thing." -- Ron Tuggnut – Director of Softball Analytics
