Veatch has elite athleticism attached to a highly projectable 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame. He’s run as fast as a 6.39 in the 60-yard dash at our events in the past, and it’s real impact speed that translates onto the diamond. Veatch repeats a short, uphill right-handed swing with relative ease, and it’s likely he’ll add more impact onto his barrel as he fills out his frame. Still uncommitted, Veatch is one of the top prospects still on the market in the class.
