Top Rankings

A draft-eligible sophomore in 2019, the Giants took a flyer on Lanzilli in the 39th round after he hit .347/.409/.620 with 16 home runs. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound outfielder didn’t sign and returned for his junior season. Last summer Lanzilli played for Harwich in the Cape Cod League, where he managed a .293/.365/.457 line with four home runs. Lanzilli’s production at Wake Forest is the calling card for him at the next level. Scouts don’t see tools that have matched his performance in the ACC, but it’s tough to argue with a career line of .314/.394/.594 and 31 home runs. Lanzilli has plenty of natural strength, but scouts don’t think he has much bat speed. They also wonder if his approach will transition to pro ball, as some have seen him as a hitter who could be more exposed at the next level. Defensively, Lanzilli has spent most of his time in left field, though he also played right and some third base during his junior season. He’ll be an outfielder at the next level, and scouts see him as a below-average defender. He’ll need to continue hitting for power to profile, but an analytically inclined club interested in his collegiate performance could take a chance on him.
