View Draft Report

A four-year starter at South Carolina, Hopkins would have likely been drafted last year after a strong offensive campaign if he hadn’t missed 26 games thanks to injuries. He’s had back issues in the past, but this spring has played in 56 games and hit .285/.363/.519 with a career-high 11 home runs. Hopkins has average raw power and a double-plus runner, with 18 stolen bases in 22 attempts this spring—an 82 percent success rate. While his medical history might worry teams, he should be a priority senior sign this year who could provide more tools than a typical money-saving pick would.
