A transfer out of Wallace (Ala.) JC, Farmer showed intriguing physicality and raw power in junior college, and scouts were looking forward to seeing more of him with Florida International. With lefthander Logan Allen a potential day one pick, he certainly got seen and hit well during his 15 games this spring, but perhaps not as often as teams wanted. Farmer managed a .375/.435/.589 slash line, with one home run, two triples and five doubles and walked (six) as frequently as he struck out (six). Farmer could have been an early day three prospect in a typical draft if he had put up numbers thanks to his strong, 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame and power potential, but in a shortened draft his stock is less clear.
