Scouting Report

Assets
  • Is a notoriously good first-pitch fastball hitter. Can tear up righties as well as lefties when he gets hot and has a very good arm in the outfield.
Flaws
  • His trips to the disabled list have hurt his production and his range in the field. It's also forced him to cut down on his stolen-base attempts.
Career Potential
  • A solid outfielder on the decline.
