Scouting Report
Is a polished hitter with good strike-zone judgment and quick hands, so he is capable of hitting for average at all lower levels. Also displays emerging home-run power. Lacks a little consistency in terms of power, but he might be able to curb that with more experience. Has a tendency to get caught stealing a bit too much. Is versatile enough to play on an outfield corner (to go along with first base) but he is not an elite defender at any position.
Long Range Potential: Solid first baseman with a little upside.
