Scouting Report

Assets
  • Pickering, at 6-5, 260 pounds, is a huge man that puts every ample thing he has behind his bat to post some scorching numbers in the minors. He also has a good eye at the plate, taking a fair share of bases on balls.
Flaws
  • He's a bit too big for his own good, clogging up the base paths and having very little mobility around first base. Lefties give him trouble and he is quite injury-prone.
Career Potential
  • Great minor-league slugger.
