View Draft Report
A 24th-round pick of the Yankees out of high school in 2017, DeMarco impressed as a freshman and didn’t look overmatched in the Cape Cod League last summer as he started to improve his selectivity at the plate. A quad injury somewhat torpedoed his sophomore season, costing him a month. He started hitting like he had as a freshman upon his return, but both before and after the injury he has become a little too aggressive, trading plenty of strikeouts for a few home runs. He’s an above-average fielder in either corner outfield spot, but he is pretty physically maxed out right now. As a draft-eligible sophomore, DeMarco has plenty of leverage, but as a corner outfielder coming off a modest season (.287/.360/.490 as in the regular season), there’s a risk he won’t be drafted high enough to buy him out of his junior year at Vanderbilt.

DeMarco attended Poly Prep (New York, N.Y.) as an underclassman and was teammates with Nick Storz but he moved to Georgia as a junior and helped guide Winder, Ga.'s Winder-Barrow High to a strong run at the National High School Invitational as a senior this spring. DeMarco doesn't have overwhelming tools, but he shows a knack for making contact and driving the ball to the gaps. He's an above-average runner and his advanced instincts in center field that could make up for his lack of top-scale speed. DeMarco is expected to honor his Vanderbilt commitment, but there are a couple teams that love his intangibles and all-around skillset and could take a shot at signing him.
