Scouting Report

Assets
  • Saenz is a hard-working role player with good power. He hits fastballs well, and holds his own against breaking stuff, while using the entire field at the plate.
Flaws
  • Though he does have a good glove, his range is suspect at the infield corners. Has trouble hitting southpaws for power and has had trouble with runners on base.
Career Potential
  • A decent backup first baseman/pinch-hitter.
