In the few videos I've seen, he runs well - almost the antithesis of Montero in that he runs like he's been well coached and knows exactly what he can do, even if he doesn't have blazing speed. Similar in that respect to Saunders. In one video I've seen of a college triple, you can see him round second heading for third with the same kind of long, smooth strides that the Condor shows, with the same kind of 'kick' as he rounds the bag and decides to go for it.
If he keeps up the numbers he put up in Jackson, he could probably be very productive at leadoff. Another thing from the videos I've seen, though, he appears to be a poor bunter (Harold Reynolds would cringe at the push as he bunts), so batting second might not be a good place in close games. Also, because of the long strides, he appears a bit slow out of the box, but video of him beating out a grounder to third shows he gets it up to a good pace very quickly.
