Scouting Report
Durfee is ranked in the top 5 in the state as an outfielder for a reason. He does everything very well, and keeps getting better. He was at the top of every measurable category at the Burgh showcase, and during his BP rounds he showed even more power than the last time we saw him. Putting 2 balls deep over the left field fence, and 1 ball to straight away center. Consistently he's a 6.7 runner with excellent movement from side to side in the outfield. Projects as a center fielder at the next level, and could play there right now. Throws downhill, with carry. Cutoff 3 balls in the gap and each ball on the fly to 3rd base was 86mph or better. Hard-nosed player, fearless. Body still shows room for growth. Great baseball actions, Overall the best player at the showcase. Can help a college ball club win right now.
