Scouting Report

AssetsIs blessed with a huge frame. Patient, he has quick wrists and a fluid, short stroke for such a big man. Has enough athleticism to steal some bases and play in the outfield, as well as first base.
FlawsStrikes out a little too much, so he needs to start making more consistent contact. Also needs to keep refining his defensive fundamentals and find his defensive niche.
Career potentialPower-hitter with some upside.
