Scouting Report
Owns a lot of power and is also capable of hitting for average. Also has pretty good patience at the plate and will draw a fair number of walks in the bigs. Strikes out a lot, so he must continue to work on making more consistent contact (especially for the big-league level). Is only average with the glove.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent power hitter.
