He has good plate discipline for a young player and makes consistent contact with solid hand-eye coordination. His frame is strong and sturdy, and he projects to generate above-average power as his body matures and he gains more experience. He runs well but won't be a big basestealing threat. Franco has good hands and well above-average arm strength at third base. He finally should be ready to make the jump to full-season ball in 2013.
