Scouting report
Coming off his worst statistical season as a pro, Cameron needed a bounce-back campaign, but instead we had the bizarre cadence of 2020. Cameron was at the alternate site, at one point hit the COVID IL, and had a tough 59 plate appearances in the big leagues during a September look. His above-average speed (Daz covers ground in center and runs well underway, but he takes a while getting out of the box and ran a lot of 4.4s home to first in 2020) plays better in center thanks to excellent reads and jumps, and his arm is average if not a tick above. He can flash average power at times, but his best offensive trait as a pro has been an advanced knowledge of the strike zone. While he draws his fair share of walks, he has also accumulated disturbingly high strikeout totals, with some pointing to a hitch-driven, scoopy swing. Because of his skillbase (fine in center, strike zone feel, some power) Daz still has a shot to end up producing like a 45 or 50 if he can simply outhit where we currently have him projected. If not, then he's more like a traditional fourth outfielder. (Alternate site, MLB, Puerto Rican Winter League)
