Scouting Report
A rare mix of huge size and great athleticism, he blended home-run power with a little base-stealing speed and excellent patience at the plate (in the minors). Didn't track the ball well enough to play center field, and needed more work on his throwing accuracy. Didn't learn pitchers' tendencies well enough when at the dish.
Long Range Potential: Toolsy outfielder.
