His current exhibition game stats show a batting average of .400 (2 hits in 5 at-bats), 1 home run, 1 RBI, and an OPS of 1.500.

In particular, this home run is significant as it was hit against a highly regarded prospect in Major League Baseball. The pitcher Lee Jung-hoo hit the home run off, Dolander, is ranked first among Colorado prospects and 25th overall in Major League Baseball according to the official MLB.com prospect rankings. He is also rated as a top prospect, ranked eighth overall in the Baseball America prospect rankings.
