He must have been a slap hitter as he had only 11 XB hits (and just one was a homer) out of the 41 hits against pitchers he probably overmatched.
He made 14 errors in 35 games at 2B, which might give us some insight as to why he did not play professionally in 1963.
Maybe he was injured or quit. Or maybe the Giants expected more out of him. Either way, OOTP almost certainly overrates him!

I suppose I should check his actual ratings instead of relying on why my scout says.
Small sample size so we don't really know much. Not knowing much, but showing good OBP, OOTP turning him into a 3 WAR player is OK with me.
