View Draft Report

Gordon is a product of the up-and-coming Great Lakes Canadians, though he previously played with the Oakville Royals. An athlete with fast-twitch ability, Gordon burst onto scouts' radars with impressive performances at Tournament 12 and at the WWBA Championship in Jupiter. The righthanded hitting outfielder has a short stroke geared for line drives, and has the ability to punch the ball into the gaps with backspin. He flashes above-average bat speed and scouts project him to develop below-average power, as he already shows some ability to drive the ball deep to his pull side. Gordon is also an above-average runner and knows how to use his speed, showing strong instincts in the outfield and reading situations well on the basepaths. Scouts give Gordon excellent marks for his makeup, and many believe in his ability to develop into a solid regular. He is committed to the University of San Francisco.

Top Rankings

Gordon was a hockey player in 2015. Just two years later, the Canadian outfielder was a fourth-round pick, helping validate his decision to focus on the summer sport. Gordon was back at rookie league Billings in 2017, repeating the level after his 2016 stint there was cut to 22 games because of a shoulder injury. Still just 19, Gordon was the Mustangs' best player at the plate, hitting .319/.389/.538 with 28 of his 74 hits going for extra bases, including eight home runs. With Stuart Fairchild in center, Gordon mostly played right, though he has the speed and ability to play at least an average center field. He is starting to develop some power as he has grown into his projectable frame. He's strong, but can get stronger. Scouts project him as having average power potential. There are questions if his swing will translate at higher levels and if he can continue to hit for average, but he does have a relatively short stroke and above-average bat speed. Gordon is ready to head to low Class A Dayton and his first taste of full-season ball.
