Scouting Report

Assets
  • His ability to get on base and hit for power off the bench is a major asset. Switch hits, and can play first base and the corner outfield spots in a pinch.
Flaws
  • His weakness with the glove has kept him from playing every day. Also tends to hit more poorly from the right side of the plate. Doesn't run very well.
Career Potential
  • A good bat off the bench.
