Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can crush a ball over the fence to all fields. Is an excellent run-producer that can carry his club for long stretches if he gets red-hot. Will draw walks.
Flaws
  • The strikeouts tend to pile up to staggering totals. Also tends to struggle against southpaws. Is not a good fielder, nor is he a fast runner.
Career Potential
  • A monster home-run hitter.
