Scouting Report: Aussie import can play 1B and both corner OF spots adequately. Dening is a gritty player with a great overall approach to the game. Small-framed spray hitter with several years of international baseball experience. Makes excellent contact, some gap power. Good looking swing, hits to all fields. Has room to bulk up and add a little bit more power. Hits lefties at a good clip. Slightly above average speed. Strong arm. Average to above average tools all around, but none are plus at this point. Always gives 100%.
