Josiah Hartshorn
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Hartshorn has a chance to outproduce his draft slot because the offensive foundation is more advanced than a typical sixth-round prep corner bat. The best-case path is a bat that keeps enough contact quality and strike-zone control to support everyday first-base production, with the switch-hitting ability giving him multiple looks and a little added resilience against matchup risk. The floor is more modest if the power does not fully translate or if the bat has to carry too much defensive drag in the corners. For now, the most realistic projection is a second-division first baseman whose value comes from on-base ability and enough pull-side pop to be playable in a corner.
