View Draft Report
Ridings is among the offensive leaders in the Southern Conference and had helped the Catamounts to first place in the league with a .383/.436/.657 line and nine home runs and 13 stolen bases in 42 games. He played well last summer in the Valley League, too, where he ranked as the No. 3 prospect. He's a solid runner with average defense in center field. He has a chance to hit and shows occasional power, though he'll have more success living in the gaps. He showed improved plate discipline between the summer and spring as well. Western Carolina suspended several players, including Ridings, during the season for undisclosed reasons, prompting scouts to dig deeper on his makeup.
