View Draft Report
A split-camp player, some teams could be in on Guilbe as high as the fourth to sixth round range thanks to his exceptional power potential, while other teams are out because he's a right-right power-over-hit bat with real hit-tool concerns. There's no doubt that Guilbe has power now, and could have plus power as he continues to develop and fill out a 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame. He'll put on shows in batting practice and he has some bat speed, but there are real timing issues and it's a pull-oriented, strength based swing which could create problems as he faces better pitching and higher velocity arms. Guilbe can throw enough to handle third base--he has an average arm--but he's a below average runner and will be limited to a corner position. He's committed to Tennessee, but teams expect him to be signable.
