“He’s got legit power—he’ll drive the ball where it’s pitched and that makes him incredibly tough to game-plan for. If you don’t get ahead of him, he will definitely barrel up a ball. He’s a complete player on both sides of the ball. The numbers back it up and he’s doing it against top-tier competition.”
