Sawyer Farr Stats & Scouting Report

Top Rankings

School: Boswell HS, Fort Worth, Texas Commit/Drafted: Texas A&M
Age At Draft: 19.1
BA Grade: 50/Extreme
Tools: Hit: 45. Power: 50. Run: 55. Field: 55. Arm: 55.

Farr is a tall, lean and wiry switch-hitting shortstop with a 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame to dream on. He’s got an exciting package of tools and athleticism to go with his lanky frame and was also a strong performer during the spring with his Boswell High team in Fort Worth, Texas. Farr has contact skills from both sides of the plate and stood out as an underclassman for his strong pitch-recognition skills and swing decisions, though he has flashed a bit more power this spring and could grow into solid-average raw power in the future if he packs more weight onto his frame. Scouts seem mixed on his pure hitting ability, with some thinking he will make enough contact from both sides for a solid hit tool and others questioning the amount of miss that comes from a long-levered swing. No one doubts his athleticism and defensive upside. Also a talented high school quarterback, Farr is capable of making flashy, acrobatic plays up the middle at shortstop with above-average running ability and above-average arm strength. He is on the taller side for a shortstop, which means he could outgrow the position eventually. Farr is committed to Texas A&M and has been compared to previous A&M shortstop Braden Shewmake.

Farr is a tall, lean and wiry switch-hitting shortstop with a 6-foot-4, 185-pound frame to dream on. He’s a contact-oriented hitter from both sides of the plate who lacks power but could grow into some in the future. Presently he stands out for his savvy pitch-recognition and swing decisions, as well as his defensive ability at shortstop. Despite his height, he moves well at the position and is capable of making highlight-reel, acrobatic plays up the middle and to his arm side and has a chance for above-average arm strength in the future. Farr has a background as a high school quarterback, so that multi-sport experience paired with his projectable frame leads to scouts dreaming of his future upside. He’s a Texas A&M commit who has already been compared to previous A&M shortstop Braden Shewmake.
