Scouting Report: Tall, physically mature frame. Looks the part, minimal remaining projection. Switch hitter. Swing is a little on the long side, but shows good bat control. Starts square right-handed and utilizes a leg kick. Starts open left-handed and utilizes a leg lift/toe tap. Good approach for age and will show plus raw power. Defensively limited to first base which limits upside. Could develop into a potential reserve or four-a corner power bat. Missed the 2017 season due to knee issues. Participated in the 2018 Fall Instructional League.
