View Draft Report
A preseason All-American who played with Team USA last summer, outfielder Hunter Mense nosedived this spring. He slumped for the first three months of the season, and though his bat started to recover in May, he didn't start for the Tigers in the Big 12 Conference tournament. Mense used to have an easy swing that stayed in the zone for a long time. Because he tried to hit for more power this year, his stroke got out of whack and he didn't handle adversity well. And with plenty of scouts on hand to see his teammates Max Scherzer and Nathan Culp, Mense couldn't hide his struggles. Mense has some quickness and arm strength, but his dismal year with the bat clouds his draft status.
