Scouting Report
Swung an above-average power bat and did particularly well against right-handed pitching. Could get red-hot with the bat. Was also a pretty good athlete who played first base and on the outfield corners. Struggled to hit left-handed pitching consistently, which diminished his role in the big leagues. Was not selective enough at the plate. Defensively, he lacked a position of his own.
Long Range Potential: Decent left-handed power bat.
