Santucci has been difficult for scouts to see this spring, with his high school not allowing any outside spectators at home games and the same policy in place for most of the school's road games. He is playing at times for Worcester in the Futures League, giving scouts an opportunity to see him swing a wood bat against college pitchers, although many believe Santucci will be a difficult sign away from his Duke commitment. Santucci is a steady player who generally performed well in games last summer with a solid approach for his age. His hitting ability has stood out the most, and he uses his hips well in his swing, with power that has trended up and should grow into more as he fills out. He’s a fringe-average runner with a strong arm that should fit in right field. Santucci has primarily been a hitter, though he pitched at 87-92 mph and touched 93.
