“He came into his strength later than the average player his age and has already had a ton of Minor League success for someone that has continued to get better. I think it’s coming into his athleticism and learning how to maximize it for him.”

I’m happy that I’m here. I’m looking forward to playing here.”I just feel like I can impact games,”“It’s in a variety of ways, whether that’s on the basepaths, with some power or getting on to make things happen.
