Harrison
Didawick

The draft-eligible sophomore center fielder has top five round potential with defense, speed and power as his top tools. He’s a sure-handed defender with plus speed and above-average range, but well below average arm strength. He plays both left and center field, which is where he also profiles at the pro level; a fourth outfielder with the ability to play center on a part-time basis. In the batter’s box the left-handed hitter has a maximum exit velocity of 107.5 mph this season, which equates to average raw power. This power should continue to improve as he continues to fill out his lanky 6-foot-4, 205-pound frame. He set up in an upright stance and showed a rotational swing with some length, but also showed an ability to pull in his hands and get to the inside fastball as was the case against a Carson Liggett 90 mph fastball in game three. Didawick violently turned it around for a home run down the right field line. It was his 15th round-tripper of the season in 179 plate appearances, a huge jump from four in 201 PAs last spring. Possessing more than enough tools for a pro career, Didawick will need to cut down on his strikeout rate (23.5%) to maximize his draft value this summer.
