Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has great pure strength, which allows him to muscle the ball out of any Major League stadium. Excels against left-handed pitching.
Flaws
  • Tends to swing far too freely at the plate, leading to a lot of strikeouts and few walks. Is a below-average fielder and he doesn't hit for average.
Career Potential
  • Platoon outfielder.
