View Draft Report
The catalyst for UC Santa Barbara's lineup, Vertigan hit .381/.454/.530 with 17 steals this spring. Undersized at 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, he endears himself to scouts with his high energy level and toughness, and his speed rates as a 60 or 65 on the 20-80 scale. His instincts play on the basepaths and in center field. His arm is fringe-average. The lefthanded-hitting Vertigan has an advanced approach, and he knows his game: putting the bat on the ball, bunting, working the middle of the field and poking the ball through the left side. His power will never be a factor, but he is strong enough to shoot balls into the gaps, explaining his nine triples and 14 doubles. Vertigan profiles as a scrapper in the Brett Butler mold.
