Scouting Report

Assets
  • He has enough discipline to take some pitches and wait for the right one to slug. Ginter will line a bunch to the gap for doubles and has some power beyond the fence.
Flaws
  • Though he will take a few walks, he'll also strike out too much for the amount of power he produces. He also has some problem against breaking pitches.
Career Potential
  • Occasional big-league backup infielder.
