Adam
Crampton

The athletic-bodied Crampton caught my eye during the Pac-12 tournament in Scottsdale, but it was more on the defensive side of the ball where he's a plus defender with an above average arm and better than average range. What sold me on his bat potential was his excellent at-bat against another draft riser on this list, Blake Burkhalter. Crampton finished the season 4-for-6 at the plate during the CWS, raising his season slash to .316/.395/.392. There isn't much present power with just 12 XBH and a .076 ISO in 212 at-bats, but with solid bat-to-ball skills and a strong defensive skill set, this should put him into consideration sometime during the middle of Day Two (rounds 3-10). Think former Cardinal 6th rounder Tommy Edman who had a better BB/K ratio, but a similar .084 career ISO and .281 batting average in three seasons on the Farm.

7/13/18 - Stanford commit, evaluation came at USA PDP workout. Lean bodied athlete, put together well. Defensive standout, soft hands, compact arm stroke, quick release, throws track true, plays to and through well, calm efficient actions. Offensively does possess quick hands and a good lower half with a short stride. Was more uphill than necessary given his raw power potential, dipped back shoulder, top hand can stay above ball better for more line drives. Live at-bats, 6-3 groundout on 89 mph FB and K on 88 mph FB away which his swing path couldn't get to.
