Scouting Report: Windish is a chiseled righthanded hitter with bulging biceps, massive forearms and strong, powerful legs. He does enormous damage with his brute strength, hitting both towering home runs and scorched liners that carry out to all fields. Windish has plus raw power, but his swing is stiff and lacks adjustability, leading to lots of swings and misses and mis-hit balls. He projects to be a well below-average hitter with average power production. Windish is a stiff athlete with well below-average speed and poor agility. He is a below-average defender at first base with an average arm.
