Ledbetter

Rising Hitters: Ledbetter put up big numbers as a sophomore at Samford last year, hitting .318/.407/.640 with 16 homers, 16 doubles and 14 stolen bases, then tore up the NECBL this summer, hitting .383 with a league-best 11 homers and 45 RBIs in 141 at-bats, along with 11 steals and more walks (26) than strikeouts (25). At 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, Ledbetter is a physical specimen with serious athleticism that plays in center field, where he has good range and a strong arm. And he has a smooth, powerful, well-connected lefthanded stroke as well as a knack for barreling up hard line drives. He has Day One draft potential and a chance to be an All-American this spring.

Ledbetter has a solid, athletic build and is also a good runner. The bat speed from the left side is plus and he consistently produces hard contact with a solid middle-of-the-field approach. A Samford recruit, Ledbetter shows plenty of defensive prowess and arm strength in the outfield as well.
