Scouting Report

Assets
  • A slugger who is willing to take a walk. Swings the bat with power and can also cash in base runners when he's healthy.
Flaws
  • Has poor base-stealing skills. Strikes out too much and can also go into prolonged hitting funks. Shoulder woes may fester.
Career Potential
  • Can be an all-star third sacker when healthy.
