He throws well and is very slick with the glove (good hands).
What I don't know is how good his range is. There was some thought he could play LF when drafted, so I'd hope that means positive things for his range and reactions.
Hosmer threw extremely well and had GREAT hands (excellent at scooping the ball/saving offline throws). He didn't have great quickness, first-step reaction, or agility left and right, which hurt his range.
