He split 2019 between the GCL Tigers East (.400/.453/.653, 25 RBI in 29 G) and Connecticut Tigers (5 for 21). He tied for 9th in the Gulf Coast League in dingers. He made the GCL All-Star team.

Despite having hit .336/.406/.492 in 113 pro games, with 71 RBI, the Tigers didn't keep him around. He had hit over .318 each season!
