Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can crush the ball to all fields and has growing plate discipline. His work around the bag at the hot corner is also pretty good.
Flaws
  • His discipline at the plate is inconsistent. Swings for the fences too much, which leads to a lot of strikeouts. Has shown some jitters in the majors.
Career Potential
  • A power-hitting infielder.
