Barton

Great physical frame with impressive athleticism for his size. Dual-sport athlete who also plays quarterback. Ran a 6.60 60 with surprising quickness. Defensive actions continue to develop on the infield, while the arm shows carry across the diamond. Produces hard barrel contact in batting practice, and the power should continue to emerge. Very intriguing long-term athlete.
