Owns prodigious power and plenty of run-producing qualities. Overall, he is a very good hitter. Also displays a strong arm and positional versatility. Can draw a lot of walks. Strikes out a bit too much, even with his tremendous power, so he could stand to shorten his swing a tad. Can play all four corner positions (infield and outfield) but is good enough defensively to stick at the hot corner. | |
Long Range Potential: | Excellent power-hitting third baseman/outfielder. |
