Hellman is an extra-large, 6-foot-6, 245-pound infielder who has some of the loudest raw power in the prep class. He puts on shows during batting practice and hits towering balls to left field, with some scouts thinking he has a chance to grow into 80-grade raw power in the future. How much of that power Hellman can tap into regularly in games is a significant question. He’s shown an extremely pull-heavy approach as an amateur and often gives up the outer third of the plate entirely, struggling with pitch recognition and swing decisions. If he can improve his offensive game, he has impressive power potential and he has also moved well for a bigger player in the past, though he added plenty of weight this spring. Some scouts might give him a chance to play third base at the next level, though he is a solid candidate to move to a corner outfield position or first base. He has arm strength that could fit in right field and the raw power to profile in any corner. Hellman is committed to Oregon.
