His impressive offensive numbers included 24 home runs, 80 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases as he showcased all-around abilities and consistency at the plate. His ability to hit for average while also providing power and speed made him a true threat in every game, and his all-around performance earned him a spot on the Atlantic League's Post-Season All Star Team.
