Mixes a sweet swing (from both sides of the plate) with superb focus, some power and clutch ability. Is good defensively at third but can also play first base, if required. Has to keep his weight in check at all times, since it is a big problem for him. Also he does not have a natural home-run swing. Is not effective running the bases. | |
