Scouting Report

One of the greatest clutch hitters in history. Owns a lethal combination of great plate patience, a monster power stroke, and a great batting eye. A team leader.
|
|---|
| Flaws |
A non-factor on the basepaths. Not a great glove at first base. Could stand to cut down on his whiffs.
