26 year old A ball player who has some raw tools but never was able to put them together. Lazy
approach to the game. Is what he is as a player. Med. frame with lots of strength in arms and
chest. Cave man approach with bat in hands. Pre loaded. Sets up far open out of crouch with
hands low out in front. Drops them and slings bat head thru with SL bat spd. Swings from heels.
Head flies all over the place. Blown up with mid 80's FB's. Despite SL bat spd, can't hit a quality
one. No interest in going the other way, bails with front foot and attempts to pull everything.
Absolutely no plate discipline. Battles very well once he falls behind can turn himself into a tough
out when he feels like it. Solid avg raw power plays WBA in games due to swing and approach
issues. Below avg runner who picks his spots when he wants to run hard but generally jogs down
the line even in critical situations. WBA defender. Lazy slow feet and hands. Solid avg arm.
Makes errors a 19 yr old should make, not a 26 year old. Drops routine pop ups and simply
doesn't learn from his mistakes. Should know Cal League hops better than he does. Fields ball too
deep and struggles to throw from multiple angles. Can play all INF pos. @ A ball level but would
be anchored to 3B if he ever moves up. Six year free agent, Holes in swing and defensive issues
will get exploited @ AA level. May get a shot there next year. No Prospect.
