Cape CodThe South Alabama outfielder, coming off of batting .349/.460/.591 last spring, undoubtedly opened eyes with his performance this summer. He batted .295 with more walks (22) than strikeouts (19) and eight stolen bases. A twitchy athlete at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, Turner is a prototypical lineup catalyst in that he has a nose for getting on base, practices excellent plate discipline, and has the speed to reach base on soft contact and turn singles into doubles. He has a hit-over-power profile, but there is some sneaky pop in his bat, even with wood. Turner does have a notable hitch in his swing, so he will eventually have to prove he can maintain a high rate of contact against good pitching at the next level, but his performance this summer might have gone a long way toward assuaging those fears. Defensively, Turner’s speed and athleticism make him a true center fielder with excellent range.

(2021, South Alabama) Is a real two-way threat for the Tigers, as he played a big role in a 10-0 win over Opelika on Monday. He got the start on the mound and worked up to 89 mph with excellent command to the glove side, especially against right-handed hitters. He pounded & seemed to overpower Bulldogs hitters through his three innings of work, but he also flipped in a few breaking balls with sweeping action to the backdoor vs. right-handed hitters & front door to left-handed hitters. Turner finished striking out eight while allowing no hits. He also logged two doubles from the leadoff spot, with one being down the right field line & the other down the left field line. He never seems to be fooled and always impacts the ball at a high level from the left side.

'21 OF Will Turner (University of South Alabama) Hitting at the top of a very impressive Auburn lineup, Turner is the definite “table setter” but can do more than the average leadoff hitter. Obviously the speedy outfielder is a stolen base threat once on the bases but he shows plenty of pull side juice from the left side as well. The future Jaguar at the University of South Alabama got the scoring started for the Tigers with a homerun in the 3rd inning that left the yard in a hurry. Turner would follow that up in his next at-bat with an RBI double, again down the right field line. Very athletic OF that also doubles as a quality LHP for the Tigers.
