Scouting report
Short of guys with elite power like Miguel Sanó and Joey Gallo, there's virtually no precedent for any corner bat to strike out as much as Dalbec does and still have sustained success as an everyday big leaguer. But his raw juice certainly approaches the top of the scale, and I think Dalbec gets to enough of it in games to play a part-time 1B/3B role. He's athletic enough to handle third base despite his considerable size, but Rafael Devers is entrenched at the hot corner, though he isn't great there. There's risk that the hit tool bottoms out but guys like Dalbec tend to find their way into the lineup frequently -- think Edwin Ríos. (Alternate site, MLB)
