View Draft Report

Top Rankings

Gray's athleticism and versatility meant he never really found a defensive home at Rice--he played left and right field, first, second and third base, because he could handle almost any position adequately. The Pirates let him focus on playing second base and then slid him to shortstop for the final month of the season. He responded by showing a consistency he lacked at Rice. Evaluators liked his swing, seeing Gray as someone who can hit for average power without selling out his ability to make contact (he struck out in only 13 percent of plate appearances).
