General: Could battle for playing time as the team's designated hitter, especially against lefthanded pitching • May also be one of the team's top right-handed bats off the bench if he's not being used at designated hitter • A strong and muscular power hitter with a nice swing that makes the ball jump off his bat • A hard-working and dedicated player • Continues to improve behind the plate and can also play in the outfield.
As A Sophomore in 2005: Did not play.
