Tristin English Stats & Scouting Report College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects

TRACK RECORD: English was a two-way player viewed by most organizations as a pitcher in the long run throughout most of his playing career. It wasn't until he performed well in the Cape Cod League in 2018 and carried that success into his junior season at Georgia Tech that scouts began to see him as a hitter. The Diamondbacks drafted him in the third round in 2019, believing he could develop into an everyday big leaguer with a sole focus on hitting.

SCOUTING REPORT: English is a tall, lanky athlete with smooth, graceful actions. He has good hand-eye coordination and rarely swings and misses. He began to tap into above-average power last year. He can be overly aggressive in his approach but is working on being more selective. English bounced between first base, right field and third base and appeared to find a home at third, where his plus arm can thrive.

THE FUTURE: With pitching in his past, English will put his attention squarely on being a position player. He'll likely open 2020 at low Class A Kane County.
