Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

A prospect with raw tools and power potential, Quinton Knight was ready to have a breakout year before his season was cut short. The 6-foot-0, 170 pound prospect showcased his abilities at the Southern Nevada Scout Day earlier this year where he showed off his skill set that has projectable features including 6.84 Laser Timed 60, an accurate 81 mph from the outfield and a batting practice round that flashed power potential on a day that brought harsh conditions. Knight finished off his junior season hitting .300 for Bonanza while also recording eight stolen bases. This is a prospect with potential that could make significant jumps if he is put in the right situation with the athletic ability he possesses.
