Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has mammoth power and terrific plate discipline. Can go on offensive tears that can carry his team for long stretches. Is a very likeable teammate.
Flaws
  • While he hits better when playing first base, rather than serving as a DH, his fielding is terrible. Is a slow base-runner that clogs things up at times.
Career Potential
  • An offensive first baseman or reluctant DH.
