What do you guys think of his potential?
I know he had a big reputation as a hitter coming out of HS, and Mercer says he's very high on him. Also, he looks the part physically. But.....he's a .240 hitter based on app. 170 career ABs, with only 3 HRs. I do notice that he does not strike out a ton (16 on 65 ABs last I checked).
As a fielder, he gives great effort and is very sound, but his lack of speed is also evident.
