Scouting Report
Is a good hitter with great bat speed and power to all fields. Produces runs and can get red-hot with the bat. Pitchers fear his unpredictability at the dish. Struggles on defense in the outfield, so he is a liability with the glove. Also lacks consistency. Doesn't walk nearly enough and strikes out a bit too much.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, veteran run producer.
