After a strong start to his 2023 season in front of dozens of high-ranking executives and evaluators, Bush has continued his assault on opposing pitchers. His current .449/.541/.626 production line is a large improvement from the .272/.347/.349 he posted in 2022 and the .284/.304/.365 in the Cape last summer. He also offers big league pedigree as the son of a former Major Leaguer by the same name. At his best, the 6-foot-3, 190-pounder can do anything on a baseball field, especially when it comes to baserunning and ball tracking in the outfield. Bush glides when he moves, effortlessly covering ground, and he’s explosive in his first few steps out of the box, consistently posting home-to-first times around 4.0 from the right side. This spring he’s made significant adjustments with his pitch tracking and swing decisioning, and as a result is making more frequent hard contact. His fringe-average arm strength is the only question mark defensively, as he runs and finishes well enough to play a plus center field. Bush is another riser who will likely be selected in the top three rounds.

Cape Cod: Bush was perhaps the most enjoyable player to take in on the Cape when it comes to baserunning and ball tracking in the outfield – and that includes burner Enrique Bradfield, Jr.'s handful of weeks with Cotuit at the close of the season. Bush glides when he moves, effortlessly covering ground, and he's explosive in his first few steps out of the box, consistently racking-up home-to-first times in the 3.95 to 4.10 range from the right side. Once on the bases, he is aggressive but picks his spot well. In one game against Cotuit, Bush generated a run solely with his speed and instincts, legging out an infield hit, stealing second (and advancing to third when the throw skipped away), then stealing home on a ball in the dirt that scooted a little too far from the Kettleers' backstop. He's still a work in progress offensively, showing the potential for some explosive contact and a gap-to-gap game that would play well to his speed, but his pitch tracking and swing decisioning are inconsistent and at present he doesn't make enough consistent hard contact to rate as a top shelf offensive prospect. A bump in hard contact and power production, in addition to a more refined approach next sping, could push him closer to a surefire top 100-type profile for next year's MLB Draft. His arm strength is the only question mark defensively, as he runs and finishes well enough to play a plus center field, but his fringe-average arm could be tested in larger big league parks.

Extremely athletic 6-foot-2, 185-pound body, lean and quick twitch. Bush has an upright stance, wide stride with length from hand load, hands drop into launch position, and get good leverage up into contact. Twitchy bat speed produced 90 mph exit velocity off of tee, projects to have more with added strength. Smooth actions in the outfield. Nice load and rotational action into throw. 88 mph.

Bush has a ton of upside in an athletic, long-limbed, high-waisted frame at 6-foot-2, 185-pounds. He started the day with a 6.58 60, and left the yard during BP, posting a top exit velocity of 87 mph of the tee. The right-handed hitter starts from a tall stance, then loads back smooth as he triggers his hands down and back, using a reverse leg lift before he strides forward, walking away from his hands, creating a ton of separation. Mostly linear weight shift as his hands slightly sweep through the zone with an uphill path that allows him to elevate the baseball to the pull side. In the outfield, he played through the ball with soft hands and rhythm in his footwork, creating solid tempo and a top velocity to the dish of 86 mph.
