| Hit | 30 | 40 | In a deep slump and is in his own head right now; struggles to recognize off-speed, much less comfortable passes at spin. Room to improve offense but will never be known for his bat. |

Overall Summary
Lacks the bat for a true part-time starter/utility role, but the glove and infield versatility could still get him to the big leagues as a bench player. Has really struggled at the plate this year and could wind up a 4A/depth piece if he can't get any better offensively.
