Scouting Report

Assets
  • He's a good line-drive hitter with gap power. His biggest asset, however, is his superb play at first base. Can also play the other corner positions.
Flaws
  • Simply can't take advantage of RBI opportunities and lacks ideal power for a first baseman. Not a great base runner. Struggles against lefties.
Career Potential
  • A solid defensive first baseman and bench player.
