Dawson has a chance to make a college team very good in the OF and I think he can be a leadoff type hitter just from his bat to ball skills, and not to mention his event best 6.69 60-yard dash. Dawson's max run speed was 20.6 MPH and a 1.61 10yd dash split. He can straight up fly and it showed when he was doing his defensive part of the workout, along with low throws that were accurate to home plate. Dawson is still uncommitted but any school will be lucky to have him. In BP he had a max EV of 94 MPH and an avg EV of 89.6 MPH consistently hitting the ball hard (75% hard hit rate & a 75% sweet spot). If the arm gets stronger he will be able to stay in CF or RF, especially with his plus speed out there.
