Scouting Report

Assets
  • His bat speed is phenomenal, allowing him to turn on the best power pitchers and yank them into the seats.
Flaws
  • The left-handed slugger has big trouble against southpaws and in general simply doesn't make contact often enough. He also doesn't have the slickest glove.
Career Potential
  • An occasional big-league bench guy.
