A young hitter, drafted straight out of high school, has always been well-regarded. Since he was drafted in 2013, he’s torn up pitchers at every level, most recently posting a wRC+ of 114 in Triple-A. He’s struggled with some injuries throughout his career, most recently since being called up at the end of 2017.
He has average-at-best power, and has hit .214 in each of his partial seasons in the big leagues. What’s more, his defense has slipped, and he was regarded as a negative defender by Fangraphs in 2018.
He’s former top prospect, who has delivered tantalizing potential right up until it came time to actually do something for the struggling team that drafted him.
