  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Tall but slender frame. Has some projection.

Hit: Fringe-average hit tool. Crouched stance, high hands, leg kick timing device. Smooth swing. Solid discipline, hits to all fields.

Power: Below-average power. Slap hitter.

Run: Above-average runner. Can turn bunts into singles and leg out extra bases.

Field: Average defender at shortstop. Good glove, smooth actions, solid range. Smart player. Has also spent time at third base, second base, and all three outfield positions. Spent more time at third in 2022, but seemingly not due to defensive limitations.

Arm: Average arm.
  Career Notes: Shortstop signed for $1 million out of South Koriea in 2014. Spent 7 years in the Yankees' system. Made MLB debut in July 2021 vs. Boston. Traded to the Pirates for Clay Holmes shortly thereafter. Designated for assignment in November 2022 and traded to the Red Sox. Was designated for assignment and traded to Atlanta weeks later.

Summation: Emergency Triple-A depth with a chance to play himself into a super utility bench role at the major league level.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
