Scouting Report

Assets
  • Can knock the ball out straight away in any park. When healthy and not pressing, he also has good patience and a spectacular swing.
Flaws
  • Doesn't run well enough anymore to play an above-average center field. Will strike out a lot, and hamstring problems continue to hamper his career.
Career Potential
  • A future Hall-of-Famer.
