The 6-foot-1, 175-pound middle infielder was very limited in the 2020 campaign due to a wrist bruise leading up to the season; however, Waters is the top uncommitted lefty-swinging prospect up the middle. An above average bat with some juice, barreling balls gap to gap with natural loft. Gets extra base hits in bunches and knack for the barrel. Defensively, Waters has soft hands with seamless transitions and solid arm, tools to stay at SS.

Left-handed swinging shortstop had good performances at both Top Prospect Games and Tennessee Underclass Games this summer while battling through minor injury. Soft hands w/ smooth transitions and projectable lefty bat. Waters is just getting started as he heads into 2020 season.

60: N/A INF Velo: 79 Exit Velo: 83
6 foot 1, 175-pound LHH SS/3B. Medium, athletic frame w/ great proportional strength. Good projectability w/ more room to fill out physically. Offensively, balanced slightly crouched stance w/moderate stride and smooth hand load. Generates good torque using bottom half to pair w/ good bat path and gap-to-gap power. Defensively, showed soft hands w/ smooth transitions and good footwork. Profile can project to play SS or 3B at next level, depending on size and speed. Did not run 60 due to minor injury.

60 Time: 7.6, Position Velocity: IF - 74 6'0, 149-pound, LHH shows intriguing body type w/ projectable gap to gap power. Athletic, medium frame w/ lots of projection, some present strength. Lefty hits with a slightly open, upright stance w/ hands in front of his body. Leg kick w/ proper load. Natural loft in swing, projects for power as body fills out. Stays in zone for long time, projects for average and power. Defensively, shows reliable hands w/ good feet. An interesting 2021 to watch.
