Scouting Report
Had a sweet left-handed stroke, home-run power and plate patience. Could hit for average and was also a very good glove man (and athlete). Displayed all-round ability. Struggled with consistency against left-handed pitching. Did not always meet expectations, especially in terms of his home-run prowess in Major League Baseball.
Long Range Potential: Excellent, all-around first baseman.
