names to know from latest mock draft in the athletic
#52
THOMPSON HIGH SCHOOL (ALABASTER, AL)
DOB:
02-10-2006
Height:
6-3
Weight:
206
Scouting Report
Bats: L, Throws: L
Terrell did very little last summer as his family was moving, so he was a pop-up guy this spring as his plus-plus power had scouts racing into Alabama to see him. He has excellent bat speed and loose hands, with some ability to adjust to changing speeds, although he’s definitely hunting for fastballs to demolish. He has no stride at all with a faint toe-tap his only movement, and giving him any kind of step or stride should help him adjust to changing speeds and perhaps get more of that huge raw power into games as the competition improves. He’s a fringy runner with an average arm who probably ends up in left field.
61
BAKER HS (MOBILE, AL)
DOB:
10-14-2005
Height:
6-5
Weight:
195
Scouting Report
Bats: R, Throws: R
Gatwood has been up to 98 in the last year, with the jump in velocity showing up last August at East Coast Pro, but he missed much of this spring with a lat strain and a broken hand. His breaking ball and changeup are both works in progress, so his value is in his size, arm strength, and loose delivery. He could be a long-term project, as he hasn’t been throwing this hard for very long and lacks experience with the newfound arm strength, struggling to get a consistent arm stroke down for even average control. He’s committed to Auburn.
