    After two productive years for Kansas, Josenberger brought his game to Arkansas, where he posted a .286/.414/.490 slash line with nine doubles, 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases. The athletic, 6-foot, 185-pound switch-hitter led off for Arkansas throughout the spring, bringing to the plate the exciting combination of speed and power. Josenberger uses his quick, loose set of hands to create plus bat speed, registering exit velocities up to 108 mph. In a matchup against Paul Skenes in Baton Rouge this spring, scouts saw Josenberger turn on an inside 97 mph fastball, lacing it down the right field line for a double, proving he can compete against the country’s most dominant arm. Josenberger is a pull hitter from either side of the plate. He can be overaggressive when behind in the count, punching out 51 times in 192 plate appearances, but has also proven he can work the count with 41 walks this spring. With his plus run tool, reads off the bat and high baseball IQ, the center fielder did not commit one error this spring while also collecting seven outfield assists. He has the ability to stay in center field long term and with the addition of his intriguing offensive profile, he makes for a strong prospect heading into next month’s draft.
