Scouting Report
Mashes right-handed pitching. Brings a rare combination of bat speed and patience at the plate, which can lead to plenty of home runs. Can also run pretty well and is solid with the glove. Strikes out a bit too much and does not post a good-enough batting average to be a table-setter. Has regressed over time with greater exposure in MLB, and also regressed athletically.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, versatile veteran power hitter.
