Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is amazingly patient at the plate, and simply refuses to swing at anything other than what he's looking for. Displays great power when he does take a cut.
Flaws
  • Is a sub-par outfielder and better suited to a DH role. Perhaps more contact could lower his gargantuan strikeout totals and improve his batting average.
Career Potential
  • Slugger with great patience, but also holes in his swing.
