Scouting Report
Has tremendous size and awesome left-handed power at all competitive levels. Will also draw a fair amount of walks. Can play either infield or outfield corner, which adds value to MLB clubs. Strikes out a ton, so he must cut down a bit on his propensity to whiff in order to maximize his vast talent. Struggled with his defense at the hot corner, but his game really took off after a switch to the outfield. Is a tremendous athlete for his size.
Long Range Potential: Mammoth, versatile left-handed power hitter.
