View Draft Report

Dixon got Arizona's winning hit in last year's College World Series and has been the team's best hitter this year after offseason laser eye surgery. He has a quick swing with strength and shows above-average power in batting practice, though in games he shows a flatter stroke. He'll be more of a doubles hitter than a home run threat unless he adds more leverage and loft into his swing. He has a strong build at 6-foot-1 and 213 pounds. While he's a solid-average runner, he's not particularly quick on his feet at third base and has a below-average arm, meaning he'll likely wind up in left field as a pro. After being a 48th-round pick by the Rangers out of a California high school in 2010, Dixon figures to go in the third-fifth-round range this time around.

Top Rankings

The Rangers drafted Dixon out of a California high school with their 48th-round pick in 2010, but he didn't sign and played at Arizona instead, getting the winning hit in the 2012 College World Series. Going into his junior year, Dixon had laser eye surgery and emerged as the team's best hitter in 2013 when the Dodgers drafted him in the third round and signed him for $566,500. Dixon looked overmatched in his pro debut in the low Class A Midwest League, where he struggled to make contact and catch up to the speed of the game. He's strong, has a quick swing and shows above-average raw power in batting practice, but he doesn't project to be a huge home run hitter because his game swing doesn't have the loft or leverage for big power numbers. He runs well for his size with solid-average speed, though his feet are prone to getting tangled and his arm is below-average, so he could be destined for left field. After a rough debut, Dixon should head back to the Midwest League to try to get back on track.
