View Draft Report
After going undrafted last year, Gardner now looks like a valuable senior sign with a sustained track record of performance. He will go as far as his lefthanded bat carries him. He is a career .333/.410/.540 hitter with natural feel to hit and a classic swing that is short to the baseball. He has a .210 career isolated slugging and 18 home runs over the last two years with strength and natural loft in his stroke. He is strong-bodied at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds with a physical lower half. The 22-year-old is a well below-average runner who is better under way. His below-average arm limits him to left field, where he is an adequate defender. He is a hard-nosed player with leadership and could push into the top 10 rounds.
