Scouting Report

Assets
  • Deceptive power from a relatively small frame with a bizarre batting stance. He's unfazed by clutch situations and hits well in them.
Flaws
  • Merely average defensively. He's a free swinger who strikes out a lot and rarely takes a base on balls. He's also prone to prolonged cold streaks.
Career Potential
  • An unspectacular but respectable power-hitting third baseman.
