Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has great raw power with the ability to spray the ball all over the park and out over all fences. Defensively, his arm ranks among the best in the game.
Flaws
  • Though he's made huge strides as an everyday player in recent years, he's becoming a clubhouse liability with his temper. Doesn't walk nearly enough.
Career Potential
  • Run-producing outfielder.
