Scouting Report

Assets
  • His huge frame and power bat are his calling card, especially against left-handed pitching. Can play the outfield or first base in a pinch.
Flaws
  • Shouldn't be used too often afield, since he plays defense like a DH. Strikes out a ton and needs to improve his pitch recognition to see regular at-bats.
Career Potential
  • Bench player with power.
  • AwardsTexas League (AA) - All-Star Team
