Collin
Brightwell

Uncommitted. 6-foot, 155 pounds. This projectable speedster not only swiped many bags this tourney, he stole the show. With multiple Power 5’s showing huge interest since Friday, it’s safe to say Brightwell has arrived as a prospect. His blazing plus or better run tool is only part of why his recruiting trail is heating up. What’s even more impressive about him is the effortless high contact swing path from both sides of the plate (minimal barrel angle), rare hand-eye coordination, and an all-fields approach that matches his speed perfectly. This is a guarantee to hit for average, a dynamic contact hitter who hits the ball where it’s pitched at all times. He’s an exceptional bunter who can beat out routine grounders. His power production plays up due to his ability to manipulate the barrel, and his speed regularly grabs him extra bases, turning 1B’s into 2B’s & 2B’s into 3B’s. Collin has the reaction time, pitch recognition, and body control to adjust to any pitch in any location. He barreled multiple breaking balls with ease, which is rare to see in underclass bats. The swing mechanics are identical from both sides of the plate, with a smooth toe tap as an advanced timing mechanism and impressively timed separation. As a defender, he’s as instinctive as they come with a lightning quick first step and plus range now. Due to his innate feel to hit and 2 plus or better tools that play every day at a premium position, draft interest will follow as soon as he’s eligible.
