Drafted in the 31st round (943rd overall) by the Cleveland Guardians in 2018.
View Draft Report
A 28th-round pick of the Twins out of high school in 2015, Engelmann should go earlier in this year's draft on the heels of an extremely productive junior season that has seen him hit .359/.442/.530 with 21 steals in 29 attempts at the end of the regular season. Engelmann is a plus runner who covers plenty of ground in center field and is adept at going back on balls. He also has an above-average arm that would fit in right field as well. Despite his productive season, there are scouts who are concerned that good velocity can beat him. But his tools package and breakout junior season should sway a team to buy in on his development.

A Michigan signee, Engelmann has the highest upside of any Northern California position player in this year's class, thanks to an athletic, prototypical 6-foot-4, 195-pound frame. His raw tools earn average-to-plus grades across the board, including a strong throwing arm that has hit 94 mph off the mound and above-average speed that's improved since last summer. After a strong showing at the Area Code Games last year, Engelmann has had an erratic spring, with jaw-dropping power displays mixed in with head-scratching empty swings.
