View Draft Report
Milone ranked as the No. 134 prospect in the 2019 draft class out of high school thanks to above-average hitting potential and raw power. He turned down offers to turn pro and instead opted to make it to campus at South Carolina, where he struggled offensively for two seasons before transferring to Oregon. This spring in the Pac-12, Milone found much more success in the batter’s box, slashing .337/.405/.545 with 12 home runs and 15 doubles. Milone makes a lot of contact and showed pull-side power with solid exit velocities, but he did struggle against the small sample of 93+ mph velocity he saw and secondaries of all types. Milone has some intriguing offensive tools, but he lacks an obvious defensive home and his struggles in the SEC and in multiple stints in the Cape Cod League raise questions about his hit tool at the next level.

One of the better pure hitters in Georgia, Milone attended Perfect Game National early last summer but otherwise wasn't at many of the big national showcases. As a result, Milone flew a bit under the radar until a loud offensive performance at Perfect Game's Jupiter tournament last fall, and he's continued to hit well this spring in front of plenty of scouting directors and crosscheckers. A 6-foot-1, 185-pound shortstop, Milone might be a better fit for second or third base in the future. He's a fringe-average runner who lacks a lot of quick-twitch lateral mobility and has just average arm strength. His defensive instincts are solid, however, and scouts are confident he'll be able to stick in the dirt in some capacity. Milone has average raw power, which could limit his profile or make him more of a utility-type player as he progresses. Regardless, scouts think he has above-average hitting ability with good feel to put the barrel on the ball. Enough high-level evaluators have traveled to see Milone this spring that it wouldn't be a surprise if he was drafted early on Day 2 and did not make it to South Carolina, where he is committed.
