Bio

School: Brito Miami Private High School
Drafted: 2nd overall pick in 2010 by the Pittsburgh Pirates
Scouting Report: Lean athletic frame, projects large. Smooth footwork at SS, quick hands, showed good arm strength, athletic actions on all plays, solid body control. Starts his swing with wrapped bat but catches up to 90+ FB just fine, has leverage and hit balls hard in games, gets good extension, swing looked better against higher velocity. Good student, verbal to Florida International.
