Draft Prospects
-
School: Gulliver Prep, Pinecrest, Fla. Commit/Drafted: Miami
Age At Draft: 18.5
At a showcase, Puig might not immediately jump out because he doesn’t have high-end tools, but his pure hitting ability stacks up among the best high school bats in the class. A 6-foot, 185-pound third baseman, Puig starts with a simple lower half load and quiet hands before turning the barrel into the hitting zone with a compact, efficient and adjustable swing. He has good rhythm, balance and sequence, helping him track the ball well with the barrel accuracy that makes him one of the most difficult hitters in the class to induce swing-and-miss against. He has impressive plate coverage, squaring up fastballs and breaking stuff in all quadrants of the strike zone with the ability to go with where the ball is pitched and barrel hard line drives to all fields. It’s a hit-over-power game with consistent quality at-bats and gap power. An offensive-minded player, Puig is a below-average runner with an average arm and has a chance to to handle third or possibly second base. He is committed to Miami.
