The 5-foot-11, 180-pound, left-handed hitter, has presence in the box, stays compact and repeatable while creating present bat speed and gets extension through contact. Drabant recorded an 86.8 mph average exit velocity, second best of the event and his furthest batted ball traveled 330 feet. Drabant moved well laterally around the outfield and nearly led the event in outfield throwing velocity, peaking at 87 mph on his hardest throw from a loose, lively high ¾ slot.
