Scouting Report

Assets
  • Speed is still one of Sanders' best assets. He uses it best in the outfield, but also to steal a base when needed. He's always been equally effective against righties and lefties, while hitting for tremendous power against southpaws.
Flaws
  • He can't resist high heaters out of the strike zone and he's prone to let loose when he has two strikes against him. Minor nagging injuries have always been a problem, as has coming through with runners in scoring position.
Career Potential
  • A quality slugger who should begin to fade with age.
