Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's shown a lot of power and run-producing ability and isn't afraid to sacrifice an at-bat for an RBI by lofting a fly ball with a runner at third.
Flaws
  • He is prone to killing a potential rally by grounding into double plays. He strikes out a lot but that can be forgiven if he can keep pounding the ball out of the park and driving in runs.
Career Potential
  • A solid fourth or fifth outfielder at best.
