Scouting Report
Is an extremely patient hitter with a great batting eye, so he can draw tons of walks. Has good power, thanks to strong lower-base leverage. Generally makes contact when he does swing the bat. Can he hit for average in Major League Baseball? Can he hit left-handed pitching enough to become an everyday player in MLB? There is skepticism on both fronts, which may limit his appearances.
Long Range Potential: Depth first baseman.
