View Draft Report
Towns has been a solid performer for Virginia for four years. His tools are not explosive, but he has the potential for an average bat, thanks to his short righthanded swing and above-average bat speed. Towns has below-average power and is a well below-average runner. He has a plus arm at third base, but he is not a sure bet to stay at the position because of a slow first step. Overall, he is sort of a tweener, and his bat will have to carry him from level to level. Scouts view him as a solid senior sign.
