2021 MLB Draft: A British Columbia native, Palmegiani transferred to Southern Nevada from Cal State Northridge last summer and stands at 6-foot-1, 200 pounds with strength and twitch. Offensively, he shows well-above-average bat speed with a slight rock back of the hands to load from his below his back shoulder. The hands come back as he takes a short stride and at foot strike, whistles the bat through the zone with above-average hand speed. He makes loud contact, resulting in triple-digit exit velocities. He takes consistent passes at the ball and repeats his stroke with efficiency. Defensively, he profiles at third base or a corner outfield spot. He has athletic actions with smooth transfers, a solid-average arm and some carry to his throws.

A D1 transfer from Cal State Northridge, but way of Surrey, BC. At 6-1 195, this kid is strong with twitch and built for the next level. Offensively he showed some of the best bat speed at scout day, with a slight rock back of the hands to load from below his back shoulder. The hands come back as he takes a short soft stride and at foot strike, whistles the bat through the zone with abv avg hand speed, and makes loud contact, resulting in 109 MPH exit velos. Made consistent passes at the ball and repeated his stroke with efficiency. Impressive hitter that with a big spring, will capture attention. Defensively he is a 3B’man and took GB’s at SS, showing actions w/smooth transfers and a solid avg online arm. His throws have carry with something on them. The bat is a tool to carry and I would expect him to be a run producer this next spring. (Scholzen)
Third baseman from BC who lives in Alberta as he plays for Vauxhall. Committed to CSUN and is member of Canadian Junior National Team. Offensive third baseman with projectable power from the right side and should continue to add more as he has additional strength gains. Produces hard contact and ball jumps off bat, leg kick to load, uphill path and drives the ball in the air. Solid defender at third, hands work and stays in control off body with arm strength across the diamond. Should draw some pro attention this year as he game continues to improve every time we see him.
