View Draft Report
French, 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, is a legitimate two-way talent who could play both ways in college. He has an 88-90 mph fastball that touches 92 and can mash. Scouts say his greater upside is on the mound, but he'll need mechanical adjustments and a more refined breaking ball to get lefthanded hitters out. He loves to hit and has above-average power potential. French has committed to UNLV but may be the most attractive draft pick in Colorado because he's considered the most signable of the state's elite talent.
