Garret Forrester

Oregon State

Forrester is among the most patient hitters in the country boasting massive walk rates to go along with his serious thump at the plate. Forrester has been an anchor for the Beavers going back to his freshman year. He's got solid-average raw power and bat speed, though he doesn't have much projection left and will need to hit for even more impact moving forward to really up his prospect stock. Still, we're talking about a guy with a plus approach, above average bat-to-ball skills and the ability to hit the ball out of the ballpark. His profile is limited a bit by the first base position, but there's some safety here.

Oregon State has a fairly elite hitter in LHH 1B Garret Forrester. Elite chase rate. Elite in-zone contact rate (depending on sample source). Really the only hitter in that bucket with significant exit velocities. Could see a Kyle Manzardo-esque ascent in 2023. https://t.co/aqNgTqrZNJ
