Run: Solid-average speed. Smart base runner.

Field: Above-average to plus defender at all three outfield positions. Solid range, makes great reads. Reliable glove.
  Arm: Above-average to plus arm.

Career Notes:
Spent seven seasons in the Twins organization. Made MLB debut in May 2022. Signed minor league deal with Boston in November 2023.
