Missed most of college junior season due to a PED suspension after projecting as one of the top college hitters in the draft coming out of his sophomore campaign. Has power and strong plate discipline but that leads to a higher K rate. At this point he looks like an extreme 3-true outcomes guy which may not project at higher levels. May need to swing at more hittable pitches earlier in the count. Decent defender who also play corner OF and 1B but the bat will determine his ceiling.
The Giants are in agreement with Justin Verlander on a one-year deal, pending a physical. Verlander, a client of ISE Baseball, is reportedly guaranteed $15MM.
