Draft Prospects

Ector is an athletic, switch-hitting outfielder who’s young for the class and won’t turn 18 until July 14, a day after the draft ends. He’s a plus runner with plus arm strength who should be able to handle any outfield position because of that tool combination, but scouts want to see more of him in center field to be confident he can handle the position. Ector has a loose, handsy swing from both sides of the plate and has shown the ability to drive the ball into both gaps. While he has a projectable frame that could add more strength, evaluators seem to think he’ll be more of a doubles bat than a power hitter, which would be fine if he proves he can stick up the middle in center field. Ector is committed to South Carolina, but it wouldn’t be surprising for a team that prioritizes youth and bat-to-ball skills to take a chance on him straight out of high school.
