Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has the look of a classic first baseman: big and strong with a power bat that produces lots of home runs and RBI. He also catches left-handed and is solid around the bag. Can draw walks.
Flaws
  • Will go on some big strikeout binges and lacks overall consistency at the dish. Also struggles to hit left-handed pitchers. Has very little speed on the bases. Is prone to minor injuries.
Career Potential
  • Power-hitting first baseman with holes in his swing.
