Arizona (2009 Draft)
6-3, 225
Bats: Right, Throws: Right
Games seen: 1, Innings: 9 (plus BP)
(700th overall pick, 2009 Draft, Toronto Blue Jays)
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Compact, muscular body. Strong forearms, large hands, strong grip. Thick muscular legs and thighs, built like Matt Stairs.
STRENGTHS: Above-average raw power, mostly pull, though shows power to all fields. Sturdy body, 1B or LF, AL-type.
WEAKNESSES: Below-average athletic actions at 1B, 3B or LF. Average arm, release and accuracy. Below-average speed.
SUMMARY: Above-average raw power, likes to get his hands extended. Will need to prove he can get his hands inside the good fastball, if he does as pro, he’s got a chance to raise raw frequency to ML standards. Will have to work hard to upgrade complementary tools. Could be an everyday player and provide 20 HR power, but needs to show more to fit into pro ball. Power can carry him a long, long way if he can prove he has just enough of everything else.
