Scouting Report

Assets
  • Swings a powerful bat with above-average home-run ability. Is patient at the plate and will take walks. A solid athlete, he boasts a strong arm from the outfield.
Flaws
  • When he gets his pitch he takes a huge cut, leading to too many strikeouts and a middling batting average. While he hustles, he's not an efficient base-runner. Is somewhat injury-prone.
Career Potential
  • Patient power hitter.
  • AwardsSouthern League (AA) - All-Star Team
