Scouting Report

Assets
  • Lee has one of the sweetest swings of any right-hander in the game and generates tremendous bat speed. He is a big man who can hit for power and average.
Flaws
  • His strike-zone judgment has much to be desired. He's a barely average fielder in the outfield and tends to be a slow starter at the plate.
Career Potential
  • All-star-worthy slugger.
