Scouting Report
Had outstanding home-run power and the potential for great run production. Drove the ball with authority and was incredibly selective at the dish. Could be an intimidating presence in the batter's box and had the ability to dominate right-handed pitching at lower levels. Lacked ideal defensive ability at first base, which made him more of a designated hitter candidate in Major League Baseball. Also, he was woefully inconsistent at the dish and struck out far too much. Had issues keeping his weight in check. Struggled against left-handed pitching. Was never able to realize his potential and called it a career early.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent power hitter.
