Scouting Report
A natural run-producing switch-hitter, he can hit for both average and power. Also displays a good throwing arm. Is versatile enough to play both first base and the outfield corners. Usually owns a solid walk/strikeout ratio. Lacks polish as a defender, so first base (or even designated hitter) may be his future position in MLB. Also, his home-run power lacks consistency (and he doesn't have enough speed or athleticism to make up for it).
Long Range Potential: Switch-hitting first baseman.
