Thick legs, undersized for a first baseman; already well built for his age, not much physical projection left. |

Bauers doesn't look the part of the power-hitting first baseman, because he's not. He has enough power for the position, but it's his overall hitting ability that will carry him. He has a strong approach at the plate that allows him to use the entire field, and enough strengths to hit the gaps consistently. He's a threat to leave the yard to the pull side, but he's still growing into the rest of his power. His swing is geared more towards being a balanced hitter, however, and he's likely to sacrifice some of that raw power in favor of average. It won't be a prototypical first base profile, but he should provide enough offensive production to warrant everyday playing time.
