Scouting Report

Assets
  • Could knock the ball out of any park. When healthy, he had good patience at the plate and one of the most spectacular swings of all time. Defensively, he was one of the best center-fielders to ever play the game, with a most accurate arm.
Flaws
  • Injuries cut into his overall numbers, robbed him of a lot of games and carved into his five-tool ability. As a result, he didn't do much running and forced him to the corner outfield positions and eventually the DH role. Hamstring problems, in particular, hampered his career.
Career Potential
  • One of the greatest center-fielders of all time.
