View Draft Report

Hightower is a 6-foot, 180-pound shortstop who was a pop-up player late in the season in North Carolina. He’s an athletic middle infielder who might not have a plus tool at the moment, but he has solid bat speed from the right side with some solid raw power in the tank as well. He could provide utility value around the infield if he doesn’t develop into a regular everyday shortstop. Hightower is committed to North Carolina and on the older end for the class.
