HS Coach Evaluation: He’s a tremendous athlete who can do a lot of things. He brought a dimension we never had with power, speed and a versatility to play several positions.

-J. Kating 6/1/10
FV Royals Coach Evaluation:  Incredible athlete. Athleticism allows him to play a number of positions at a high level.  Outstanding speed; steals bases and forces defensive miscues with high-pressure and aggressive base running.  Great reads on balls in the dirt at HP, consistently takes the extra base.  Has great "pop" off the bat; drives the ball gap-to-gap and has yet to reach his power potential.  Has an above average arm and compliments good jumps in the OF with excellent closing speed.  Has the attitude of a perfectionist, is relentless and possesses leadership qualities.  Great attitude, good teammate and very coachable.
