Scouting Report
Best is athletic with a lot of length in his frame, already showing strength and quickness. While still raw, there is elite quickness from the left side with power in the barrel. At the end of a long summer and fall, Best ran a 7.19 sixty in November on a laser timer and posted an exit velocity of 87 mph off of a tee. In BP, the ball jumps when centered, but there is still some barrel awareness issues as the load can be big and cause some timing issues. In game play, Best has shown an ability to handle high level pitching, producing power to all fields.
