Dylan
Dreiling

The draft-eligible sophmore outfielder continues to move up draft lists, as a result of consistent hard contact at the plate and strong tools across the board. His Friday night home run left the barrel at 108 mph, and his double at 100. He continued to find the barrel on Saturday with a 104 EV groundout and a 101 EV fielder’s choice. Currently batting .354 with a .446 ISO, Dreiling has advanced pitch recognition and barrel control with impressive contact rates both in-and-out of the zone. There’s potential for a high-level hit tool with budding power potential from present strength and bat-speed (112.6 max EV this season) with an innate ability to create loft from a 5-foot-11, 200-pound frame. He’s also an above-average defender with above-average speed and range, along with solid average arm strength that also comes with good carry and accuracy. He’s the complete player with tools, skills, performance and earns high marks from scouts for his “old school” grind it out mentality. On my current draft list he will be the fourth Volunteer selected, and all will likely be chosen in the top two or three rounds.
