LeVon Washington

Bio

School: Buchholz HS, FL
Drafted: 2nd round pick of the 2010 draft by the Cleveland Indians
Scouting Report: Washington has quick wrists and good plate coverage and showed some ability to use the opposite field; his power is below-average, and his feel for the game isn't great. He's at least a 60 runner, getting down the line in as little as 4.05 seconds from the left side with reports of even faster times from last year. Washington is still recovering from offseason labrum surgery and his arm right now is comparable to those of Coco Crisp, Johnny Damon, and Shannon Stewart; he also struggles with reads in centerfield, only partially making up for it with his speed. He's a tools player with limited feel for the game, reminiscent in build and play of Jay Austin, Houston's second-round pick in last year's draft who has yet to show any offensive ability in pro ball in over 400 plate appearances.
