Scouting Report:
Lightning-fast center fielder. Converted from 2B in 2008. Pichardo hits
from a closed stance in a crouch. He's a slap hitter from both sides of
the plate. He can hit for average, but not much power. His extra base
hits will come because of his wheels. Needs to work on his bunting
skills. In the field, Pichardo gets good jumps, has excellent range, and
an average arm. He has the makings of fifth outfielder/pinch runner/nine
hole hitter at the major league level. Suffered a bad hamstring injury
at the end of the 2008 season, but came back at full speed for the start
of the 2009 Spinners.
