Scouting Report
A natural low-ball hitter with good power, he could hit a lot of home runs and doubles. Flashed a strong outfield arm, helping him pile up assists. Could play either outfield corner in the big leagues. Swung the bat a bit too freely, leading to high strikeout totals and a lot of streakiness. Wasn't much of a base-runner. Was somewhat injury-prone. Could struggle versus right-handed pitching.
Long Range Potential: Solid run-producing outfielder.
