Scouting Report

Assets
  • One of the most patient and disciplined hitters in the game, he won't swing unless he sees a good pitch and happily takes piles of free passes. Possesses pretty good power. Is solid defensively.
Flaws
  • Is uncommonly injury-prone to a fault and struggles to get 500 at-bats per season. His tendency to break down physically has also limited him defensively. Will strike out too much for his power level.
Career Potential
  • Oft-injured first baseman/DH with great plate discipline.
  • AwardsDouble-A - All-Star Team (Baseball America)Eastern League (AA) - All-Star Team
