View Draft Report
Jenkins is raw but has explosive tools. His best asset is his demonstrative righthanded power; he has some moving parts to his swing and tends to swing and miss often as a result, but when he squares pitches up the ball explodes off of his bat. He shows above-average to plus arm strength in the outfield and profiles a powerful corner outfield bat as a below-average runner. Jenkins, who is already 19, is committed to South Carolina and would be a draft-eligible sophomore in 2019 if he doesn't get what he's looking for in the draft this spring and chooses to honor his commitment.
