Scouting Report
Crushed first-pitch fastballs and was a good low-ball hitter. A great athlete with a big frame, he had power, patience at the plate and some speed. Knew how to draw walks. Was a grinder who played any outfield position. His all-out style led to a lot of injuries, which was especially the case early on. He was streaky and piled up strikeouts when he was not in a zone at the plate. Did not make the most of his athleticism on the base-paths.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile and athletic outfielder.
