He burns up the basepaths. He has an above-average arm.... He handles high-velocity fastballs. He'll turn around a first-pitch breaking ball. He can hit for power to all fields,and because of his speed,almost anything in play has the potential to be an extra-base hit. He isn't just fast. He's hungry fast. From the instant he takes off,he's got the forward body lean of a sprinter stretching for the tape. He has been timed at 3.8 seconds home to first,which is exceptional for a left-handed hitter and elite for someone breaking out of the right-handed batter's box,like Brown."[11]
