Quentin Young
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his age, size, and draft pedigree, Young projects as a bat-first corner player with a realistic ceiling of a second-division regular if the hit tool climbs to fringe-average while the power holds plus. The path to that outcome runs through improved swing efficiency and sharper pitch selection to reduce strikeouts enough for the power to play consistently in games. Defensively, he likely settles in left field or a bat-first third base role depending on how his footwork, lateral agility, and body maintenance progress. If the hit tool stalls and strikeouts remain elevated, he could slide into a bench or up-down role centered on right-handed power off the bench. Continued development will rely on translating his amateur production against lower-level arms into consistent professional quality of contact while keeping his large frame in check.
