Devin Fitz-Gerald
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his size, switch-hitting profile, and middle-infield background, Fitz-Gerald projects most realistically as a versatile second baseman who can cover shortstop in stretches rather than a true everyday shortstop. The ceiling looks like a bat-first utility or second-division regular if the hit tool from the left side continues to drive on-base ability with enough gap power. More likely, he settles in the up-down range, moving between Triple-A and the majors as roster needs and his performance dictate. To reach and hold a big-league role, he will need to prove the bat can sustain production against upper-level velocity while tightening his infield actions and avoiding a full slide to the corners, where his power would be more ordinary.
