Who does he remind you of?

I'd say a young Bonds or Griffey.

outside the fact that they are black they are nothing alike lol. Thomas was a righty, played first base, and was a slug on the bases

this ties into the "faster" part

both are huge batters with really good plate discipline and pop who were phenoms, batting-wise

FWIW, Griffey's rookie year is the same year Heyward was born.

well the position you play doesn't necessarily define your speed. There are slow corner outfields and fast corner infielders
