Scouting Report
Swung a big power bat and could also hit for a good average when he was seeing the ball well. Had some natural leadership qualities due to his catching resume earlier in his career. Was not a very good defensive catcher, which led to a switch to first base. As a hitter, he struck out too much. Did not run well at all. Could go into prolonged slumps at the dish.
Long Range Potential: Versatile home-run-hitter and run producer.
