Scouting Report
A phenomenal pure hitter, he had a rare combination of batting eye, power, patience and clutch ability. Seemed to see things in slow motion when on top of his game. His bat was quite special. Didn't seem to put a lot of effort into anything other than hitting. Was mercurial and very high-maintenance. Injury-prone, his career ended due to a performance-enhancing drug issue.
Long Range Potential: All-time great slugger, but a strange superstar.
