Scouting Report
Swings with impressive lefty power and has a knack for driving in runs. Doesn't strike out as much as many sluggers. An underrated athlete who hustles, he has the ability to play first base as well as the outfield. Must prove he can hit lefties with consistency at the major-league level. Doesn't draw enough walks. Needs to keep polishing his defensive and base-running fundamentals. Lacks consistency.
Long Range Potential: Depth outfielder.
