I'm not at home at the moment but I will take a look when I get home. I do know that he has elite speed and above average hitter contact but is lacking in power and fielding. Gonna leave him in the minors and train him up. How do you guys post screen shots?

PS: I did not edit this prospect in any way. Just got lucky no one took him earlier.

Hit Share on you controller and select Screenshot. You can then save/export to facebook, twitter, etc. Then just post the photo on here.

A lot of guys play SS when they are drafted but a lot aren't able to stick there and get moved. A good example, Justin Upton was drafted as a SS, look how that turned out.

If his speed is good but fielding not as much I'd look to put him in the OF.

I try not to edit the prospects in any way as the CPU does not do this and I feel it's a bit cheap. He also plays 3B & 2B so I'll be able to keep Swanson at SS, Albies at 2B and play him at 3B. I can't remember his name.

Agreed - Fielding rating isn't as significant for OF positions as it is for IF positions, so if he's good a good arm and good speed I'd move him to OF

First draft with the Braves (picking 5th):
1) 75(current)/88(potential) CF with high contact and speed profile
2) 73/88 LHSP
3) 73/75 2B
4) 63/77 RF, super fast and crazy power.
5) 68/74 RP
6) 68/74 SP
7)) 54/78 RP

Was not too happy with the top-end potential of the guys, but I guess a couple of MLB-ready guys to play with.

Figured it out. Pick 5 of the 2017 draft.

Wow. Rare guy with elite speed who's not a scrub. MLB ready bat too. If he can get his fielding up, he'll be a superstar.
