School: Virginia. Committed: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.7
Godbout cemented himself as one of the most polished pure hitters in the class during the 2024 spring season with Virginia. After a solid freshman season in 2023, Godbout hit .372/.472/.645 with 18 doubles, nine home runs, 47 RBIs and 29 walks to 20 strikeouts as a sophomore. He has a simple setup in the box with plenty of quickness in his hands. Godbout has excellent hand-eye coordination and plus feel for the barrel. He posted a 95% contact rate against fastballs and a 92% overall in-zone contact rate in 2024 but also grew into more power and flashed impact to the pull side. -

A strong Virginia commit, Godbout is seen as a projectable shortstop who likely needs time in college to get stronger. He’s helped himself with a strong summer in the Futures Collegiate League. There are thought to be a few teams who may be willing to meet what was seen as a sizable asking price. If they do, they are counting on him filling into power and bat speed that isn’t there yet. Whether a team can do that in a minor league system that has eliminated short-season and non-complex rookie league teams is an open question.
