Scouting Report
Assets: Has elite power. Manages to hit for consistently good averages despite taking a huge cut on every swing. Knows the value of taking a walk and is a clutch run producer. Works hard to improve his defense.
Flaws: Strikes out too much, which can often lead to prolonged hitting funks. Doesn't possess a top-tier glove at first base. Is slow and not an asset on the basepaths.
Career Potential: Elite slugger and run-producer.
