We will see Aaron in the Majors in possibly just two years from now. He is a natural power hitter who still hits for a great average. If he works on his fielding, he has unlimited pro potential.

I think I remember hearing that Avent called Bates the best hitter he's ever coached. Thank god San Jose State has some assclowns for advisors.
