    Beavers tied for the Pac-12 Conference lead with 18 home runs as a redshirt freshman to earn invitations to the Cape Cod League and USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. He went homerless in eight games in the Cape and hit only .143 with one home run for Team USA, but he returned to campus this spring and again finished among the Pac-12 leaders with 17 homers. Beavers is one of the toolsiest college players in the draft class. He is a strong, athletic 6-foot-4 outfielder with plus speed, plus-plus raw power and a plus arm. His natural strength, long levers and electric bat speed allow him to get to his massive power with ease to all fields. He is particularly adept at letting balls travel deep and driving them out the opposite way over the left-center field fence. Beavers primarily played right field in college but is capable of playing center with his long, fluid strides and is an above-average defender in both spots. He tends to play deep in the outfield and will have to prove he can get to balls over his head. Beavers’ tools and physicality are among the best in the draft class, but his hitting ability is a question. He constantly tinkers with his swing mechanics and often struggles to be on time. His crowded setup and tight hand placement prevent him from getting the barrel out front and lead to him missing too many hittable pitches. Beavers’ electric hand speed and fast, whippy swing give him a chance to be a below-average hitter if makes adjustments, but whether he can is an open question. He has a chance to be an everyday outfielder who hits .240 with 30 home runs if he can overhaul his swing and stance.
