Athletic OF who's offensive game is prob. short for everyday role. Fringy across board. Great
body. Big wide football back, Gd athlete. Evenly prop. Thick forearms and strong hds. Two
piece swing is short on rhythm but works well for him. Sets up open w/some knee bend.
Strides towards pitcher. Works down thru ball well generating gd backspin, occ. comes out of it
and gets extended early which robs him of his strength and creates holes on inner 1/2. Makes
clean contact despite horrible eye sight. Plus raw power generated from avg batspd and lots of
strength. Gd balance. Classic low ball LHH. Gets abused by quality breaking ball. Approach is
skewed to pull side but if he commits to a swing he has strength to drive ball the other way, as
evidenced by 2B totals. Plays lazy for me, never got gd run times out of him. Avg arm is
inconsis. from strength persp. right now but loosened up a bit over course of season. Lacks CF
instincts and it showed over month when he played out there. Suspect routes and slow 1st
step. Bat suited better for LF anyways-that's where he belongs from defensive angle as well.
Don't see enuf power or avg to be everyday player, 4th OF with gd swing for value as lefty bat
off bench as well. Should move on to AA next yr.
