Bailey is a hulking lefthanded slugger with a 6-foot-4, 235-pound frame and some of the best raw power in the class. His frame and lefty raw power have drawn some comparisons to 2022 first-rounder Xavier Isaac, though Bailey at least has a chance to play either third base or a corner outfield position and has a less refined hit tool. While first base is his most likely home in the long run, scouts have praised his athleticism for his size. Bailey has a wide stance with his weight shifted to his back foot before firing a steep, uphill bat path that’s designed for impact in the air. While he has plenty of swing-and-miss, Bailey did a nice job staying within the zone on his swing decisions and showed more than enough in-game impact ability to all fields to live with some strikeouts. He’ll be 19 on draft day and is committed to Florida State, though his 70-grade power potential could make him a top-five round pick.
