MiLB Stats
Overall Summary
Thick-bodied corner infielder the plays hard with below-average tools. Makes a good deal of contact, but ambush-type approach and lacks extra base power and hand speed. Below average at both first base and third base; no true profile position at the next level. Looks to be maxed out physically; broad, square frame. He is in good shape, looks like a worker and plays with some emotion. Org. type corner-infield player.
