Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has decent power potential, pretty good footwork at the hot corner and a strong arm. Runs pretty well for a big third baseman.
Flaws
  • Strikes out way too often, and will need to improve his overall plate discipline in order to see more playing time in the bigs.
Career Potential
  • A backup third baseman.
