Eric Bitonti
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Bitonti’s carrying trait is above-average raw and game power, and his 2026 High-A production—25 homers with a strong on-base line—reinforces the possibility of a middle-of-order corner bat. The path to an everyday first-base role depends on materially improving contact against velocity and reducing the swing-and-miss that has followed him across levels. If the hit tool settles below average, the defensive value and speed offer little margin, leaving a second-division or part-time outcome; continued power paired with better in-zone contact would raise the ceiling. His early Double-A results are too brief to shift that evaluation substantially.
