View Draft Report
Knight had a career year in 2022 by hitting .337/.415/.642 with 19 doubles and 17 home runs, while also putting up a double-digit stolen base total for the first time in his career. In four years at Mercer, he hit .307/.386/.538 with 49 doubles, 33 home runs and 155 RBIs. He played his home games in an offensive environment, but his swing also has plenty of strength on its own. A good athlete at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, Knight has played 129 games in center field in his Mercer career. He's a solid runner, even if that hasn't been expressed in big stolen base numbers. He was committed to transfer to Mississippi State before the draft.
