Scouting Report
| Assets |
Very patient at the plate and hits with above-average power. A top-tier run producer with good clutch ability. Hustles in the field and on the basepaths. Boasts a nice arm for outfield assists.
|
|---|
| Flaws |
Gets into trouble when he lets a pitcher get ahead of him in the count. Off-speed stuff can fool him, and he generally strikes out too much.
