View Draft Report
SS Grant Plumley passed RHP Dennis Bigley as the top prospect on an Oral Roberts team that dominated the Mid-Continent Conference and fared well against a strong nonconference schedule, finishing the regular season with a 45-9 record. The draft is short on position players, especially middle infielders, and Plumley had a stellar year with the glove, committing just two errors for a .993 fielding percentage at short. His hands, speed and arm are all plus tools, and he has solid range despite slightly below-average speed. While his bat is a question mark, Plumley has the hand-eye coordination to hit and needs to make minor mechanical adjustments.
