Scouting Report
A switch-hitter with power, patience and run-producing qualities, he can be a dangerous threat at all lower levels. Can hit to all fields with power, too. Strikes out a bit too much, though it comes with the territory (especially these days in MLB). Defensively, he is never going to be confused with a gold glove-caliber performer at first base. Must prove he can hit for average over time at the highest level. Lacks consistency in a major way.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, switch-hitting slugger.
