Scouting Report
Had a sweet swing with the ability to hit for both monster power and average. Turned up his game with runners in scoring position. Improved his defense at first base over time with a lot of hard work. Injuries became a major concern with time, especially a concussion. Struggled a little against tough southpaws. Was not completely comfortable in making all the plays at first base and lacked range.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, slugging first baseman, when healthy.
