He was a #2 round draft pick a few seasons ago with high potential but a bad hitting comments. I picked him due to the rest of the draft pool being garbage. His defensive stats would make him an elite CF, and his speed makes him a threat on the basepaths, but his offensive attributes leave a lot to be desired. However, his minors stats so far, while not great, arent has horrible as I thought they'd be. I'd be curious to hear other's thoughts on where they think his attributes might end up, and if you think he'll have any use on a big league roster in the future. https://brokenbat.org/player/319312

I find it hard to count on just BB. Even though it looks like most BB get him to 2B. Given his flatlined Hitting, I expect his AVE will get worse and worse as he progresses through the minors.

Then he may have developed into a useful platoon or back up solid defensive SS / pinch runner etc. who might even help out with the odd double or HR even if he can't really hit at all. A good defensive SS who hits .200 with some power is playable imo. As a CF he will probably hold up the offence.

If you have FB pitching and a big yard, he's going to be worthwhile with anything above a .650 OPS. He wouldn't fit in with my typical builds, but that's the beauty of the game right!
