Scouting Report

Assets	Fantastically athletic with great size and power, he has few peers defensively in right field, where he rarely makes a mistake and regularly throws out runners. Has shown the ability to hit for good power and average.
Flaws	Lacks patience at the plate in a big way, leading to streakiness and a high strikeout total. Doesn't make enough use of his speed. Lacks some consistency in his overall approach at the dish.
Career potential	Solid, athletic right-fielder.
