Scouting Report

Assets
  • Hits the ball with elite power but also has a very good batting eye and solid plate discipline. Has rare athleticism for a man his size, including speed. Can play the corner outfield spots or first base.
Flaws
  • Sometimes lets his smooth swing get a little long, leading to too many strikeouts. Would benefit from taking more free passes. Needs to polish his defense, overall.
Career Potential
  • Slugging first baseman/corner outfielder, when healthy.
