The top-ranked prospect out of Hawaii in the 2024 class, Souza is a 6-foot-1, 185-pound outfielder with exciting physical tools. He’s added good weight over the last six months or so and has plus speed and plus raw power, though there are some contact questions and scouts are mixed on the degree to which Souza will tap into that power in games. He has at least an above-average arm and some scouts think it’s a third plus tool which would allow him to profile nicely in right field if he has to move from center. He has a chance to stick in the middle of the outfield and be a solid defensive center fielder. Whoever drafts him will likely let him play there until he proves otherwise. Souza has a similar overall profile to 2023 Phillies third rounder Devin Saltiban and could be drafted in a similar 3-5 round range. He’s committed to Texas Tech.
