Scouting Report

Assets
  • Butler generates a strong line-drive swing with impressive power despite a strange stance at the plate. Hits the ball hard to all fields.
Flaws
  • Can't contribute much on defense (aside from a strong arm), particularly at his original position, third base. Now trying to learn the outfield.
Career Potential
  • Can be an all-star slugger.
