Commit/Drafted: Georgia Tech
Age At Draft: 18.6
Henley is one of the fastest players in the 2023 class, a legitimate 80-grade speedster who has a projectable frame and who scouts believe has made improvements as a hitter in the last year or so. Listed at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds, Henley has a lean, wiry build that should be able to add more strength in the future. Henley has solid bat speed and quick hands that drive the ball to the opposite field well, though his overall approach and pure bat-to-ball skills remain fringy. He looked overmatched at times with 90-plus mph velocity and quality breaking balls, but scouts like the mechanics and bat speed of his swing and believe he can make adjustments with more reps and development. He clocked the fastest 60-yard dash at the East Coast Pro, logging a 6.20-second time that was a 10th of a second quicker than the next-fastest runner and is an easy 80-grade run time. That speed plays in all facets of the game: he is quick out of the box, should be a nightmare for pitchers on the bases and it allows him to cover huge swaths of ground in center field, where he has plus defensive potential with more refinement. He projects for average arm strength as well. How confident teams are in Henley’s offensive upside will determine where he slots in the draft, but he has a clear carrying tool in his speed. He’s committed to Georgia Tech.
