Scouting Report
"Has few faults as a hitter. He has power to both alleys, especially to left-center… loves fastballs, but can handle breaking pitches, too… has improved from an awful defensive outfielder to a decent one. When he first started, he just did not get any kind of jump on the ball." — from the 1984 Scouting Report
