Scouting Report

Assets
  • A strong slugger who can crank the ball out regularly. Does his best hitting with runners on base. Works hard to improve his overall game.
Flaws
  • Needs to cut down on his number of strikeouts in order to improve as a hitter. Knee problems early on have slowed his ability to run down fly balls.
Career Potential
  • A decent starting left-fielder.
