Terrell is a standout athlete to dream on with exceptional bat speed in the lefthanded batter’s box and plenty of foot speed and present strength with a 6-foot-3, 206-pound frame. He didn’t play in many high-profile events during the summer showcase period but flashed his hitting ability last fall and has been scouted more heavily this spring in Alabama. He has some of the best pure bat speed in the prep class, with a mechanically sound lefthanded swing that should lead to big-time power potential. Still, he’s raw as a hitter and needs many more reps against high-level velocity and secondaries. Terrell tends to pull out and swing over the top of average breaking pitches now, but he’s shown enough electricity in flashes in short stints for scouts to dream of his development as a hitter. He’s a plus runner now who has turned in double-plus run times in the 60-yard dash and has above-average arm strength that should give him a chance to play all three outfield positions. He probably fits best in a corner given his size and the fact that he could slow down in the future, but scouts have also raved about his defensive ability at first base. Terrell is committed to Auburn, but his physical tools and upside could have him drafted in the first three rounds.
