View Draft Report
Dunn has started every game of his Maryland career and has compiled a long track record of hitting. He was the Terrapins' leading hitter as a freshman and is again leading the team this spring. He had two productive summers in the Cape Cod League, where he was an all-star in 2016 and the co-playoff MVP in 2017. Dunn stands out most for his pure hitting ability. The lefthanded hitter has fast hands and a mature approach at the plate, enabling him to spray line drives to all fields. He has above-average command of the strike zone and has walked more than he has struck out during his college career. Listed at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, he can flash power and this year he has nearly doubled his career home run total, but power is unlikely to ever be a big part of his game. Dunn has improved defensively, but his range is still fringy for a second baseman. His bat is critical to his profile and if he continues to hit, he'll find a home defensively.
