I'd really be surprised if he got in on the first ballot. Of the five tools, he aces two of them, but is probably in the bottom 10% in the other three, and possibly dead last in one (throwing).
He had no notable success in the postseason. Of the four postseason series in which he participated, he 0-ferred two of them.
#35, with a bat in his hand, is a first ballot HOFer. Without the bat, not so fast.
