Kendall George

Atascocita

George is a burner on the basepaths and in the field. A true centerfielder in every sense of the word, George possesses strong instincts in the field an leadership qualities off the field. He's a slasher at the plate, and can seem overmatched by premium stuff at times, but scouts believe discipline and his ability to square up bigger velocity should come over time. George will need to hit more between now and July should he hope to go high in the draft, but if he ends up on campus, he has a chance to become a star a la Enrique Bradfield.

44. Kendall George, OF, Atascocita HS (TX) – George’s whole game starts with the wheels where he has top of scale speed and it helps him in the field and at the plate. He can beat out a grounder and covers a ton of ground in the outfield where he is a plus defender in center. He has great instincts and takes good routes to the ball, although the arm is below average, so his defensive value does all come from his ability to hold down center. At the plate he is more of a slap hitter who can be late on quality fastballs, but the mechanics are solid and some minor adjustments with quality coaching and he should develop into good gap power.

#5 Kendall George - OF - Atascocita - Arkansas Commit 

There is fast, and then there is Kendall George.  The Razorback commit is one of the most exciting players in the state.  He routinely has + times down the line, making every ball he puts on the ground a close play.  He shows good barrel awareness and the ability to use the whole field at the plate. 

OF Kendall George  continued his strong summer with a 4-for-10 showing in San Diego. A smooth left-handed stroke and excellent bat-to-ball skills make for a high contact rate for the 5-foot-10, 165-pound Arkansas recruit. In five games, he went 4-for-10 and didn’t strike out. He has wiry strength in his frame that should eventually develop into gap power, but for now, he sprays the ball around the field and puts pressure on the defense with his plus-plus speed. - Shooter Hunt

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - LHP - Matthew Dallas

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

UPDATED RESEARCH - 2023 Draft Prospect - RHP/OF - Nolan McLean

  Nolan McLean RHP/OF Oklahoma State   2-27-23 - Opening Weekend  - Nolan McLean , RHP/OF, Oklahoma State– The power hitting prospect has shifted from third base to the right field this season where his arm strength/raw power/defense tools profile well. During the Showdown he showed much more plate discipline with six walks against just two strikeouts compared to a 37/107 ratio in 242 at-bats last season. He also blasted a three-run home run to center field to put the Pokes back in the Vandy game, cutting the score to 11-8. It was a loud shot, one that needed earplugs from my seat. McLean is also a power prospect on the mound with a fastball up to 96 and a plus slider. He strong-armed Missouri for two strikeouts in the ninth inning to earn the save in State’s 5-3 win on opening night. I remain much more bullish on his abilities transferring into a big leaguer as a pitcher than hitter. He’s a third round prospect on the mound at this point.   2-19-23 - D1 - Week...

Right now it's gap-to-gap juice with a willingness to sell out for the pull-side when provided the opportunity. Stafura is bouncy and twitchy on the dirt with a big, plus throwing arm that can handle either spot on the left side of the infield.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 77 SS Sammy Stafura Walter Panas A double-plus runner with budding bat speed, Stafura has tools he can maximize as he grows into his body.
