Has a great approach at the plate, including a compact power swing and a pretty good eye. Can get red-hot with the bat. A doubles machine with good home-run power, he also plays multiple positions. Could be even better with a slightly improved walk/strikeout ratio. Doesn't make great use of his pretty good speed when running the bases. Injuries can be an issue for him, so durability is a concern. | |
