School: Southern California
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.2
BA Grade: 40/High
Tools: Hit: 40. Power: 40. Run: 70. Field: 60. Arm: 45.

One of the best athletes in the class, Overn played for USC’s football team during the 2022 fall and then turned in a first team Freshman All-American season on the baseball field after leading the nation with 14 triples in 2023. He didn’t quite replicate that performance during his draft-eligible 2024 season and after two years with the program is a career .291/.376/.495 hitter with 12 homers and 33 stolen bases. A 6-foot, 175-pound center fielder, Overn is a contact hitter who will need to spray balls into the gaps and take advantage of his double-plus running ability. Scouts thought he was pressing more frequently this spring and noted that his swing looked a bit more rigid, though at his best he shows an ability to smoke hard line drives to all fields. Overn is a bit aggressive at the plate and could stand to walk a bit more frequently. Defensively, he should be a safe bet to stick in center field where his speed and athleticism will allow him to be a plus defender with a fringy arm. His speed plays on the bases where he has gone 33-for-42 (78.6%) in his two seasons with USC. After a disappointing and brief stint in the Cape Cod League in 2023, Overn headed to the Cape again in 2024 before the draft and hit well through his first 10 games.
