Scouting Report
Has plenty of power potential and the hands to become a quality big-league hitter, overall. Is somewhat versatile afield as well, which adds to his overall value, though the hot corner is where he has the most value. At the plate, he tends to pull the ball too much. Also, he struggles with breaking pitches. Both of those factors could hinder his hitting upside. Also, his defense at third base may not be good enough for MLB.
Long Range Potential: Versatile power hitter.
