A natural hitter with a sweet left-handed swing and superb batting eye, he sprays the ball all over the field--piling up doubles, home runs and RBI, while also batting for average. Lacks mobility, which limits him defensively and on the bases. Strikes out his fair share as well. Can go into prolonged hitting slumps. Struggles to hit left-handed pitching. | |
Long Range Potential: | Veteran left-handed batter in decline. |
