View Draft Report
Sayles made national news for his basestealing exploits, which landed him in Sports Illustrated's "Faces In The Crowd." He stole 103 bases this spring in 104 attempts, believed to be a national high school single-season record. He's at least a 70 runner on the 20-80 scouting scale, but that's his only plus tool. He's a prep shortstop who plays against poor competition in Mississippi and has little exposure to quality pitching. His swing is geared around contact and will have to be refined. The 5-foot-9, 185-pounder has some strength as well and is committed to Chipola (Fla.) JC. He is considered signable.
