Scouting Report
Owns a massive lower frame and prodigious power. Can also hit for average at lower levels and runs well for such a large individual. His walk/strikeout ratio is usually first-rate in the minors. Can play both first base and left field, though he is not a natural with the glove. Will always need to hit to stay in the lineup in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Thick, powerful and versatile hitter with upside.
