View Draft Report
A physically imposing figure at 6-foot-6, 230, Odenwaelder has an intriguing set of tools. He has potential for above-average power and has a quick bat with loose wrists. He is surprisingly fast for a player his size, and posts average or slightly better run times out of the box. Odenwaeler's best tool, however, may be his potential plus arm strength, which would allow him to slide over to right field should he eventually slow down. Odenwaelder's long arms could lead to swing-and-miss issues when he's exposed to higher quality competition. He has performed well, but his year of Amherst education ahead of him may make him difficult to sign later in the draft.
