Scouting Report
| Assets: | Has big-time power potential, thanks largely to an impressive frame, some plate discipline and a decent eye at the plate. |
| Flaws: | Strikes out too much, so he could stand to shorten up his swing a little bit. Also needs to continue to work on his defense. |
| Career Potential: | Power-hitting first baseman with upside. |
