Wyatt Sanford
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Sanford has a credible path to becoming an everyday shortstop because he brings together on-base skill, speed, and enough defensive ability to stay on the left side of the infield. The 2026 offensive surge adds some upside to a profile that already had a solid floor, but the bat will still need to prove it can handle more advanced pitching before the power becomes an everyday separator. If the hit tool settles in around average and the power lands in the 40-45 range, he can profile as a regular who impacts the game with contact, baserunning, and steady defense. The floor is a defense-first utility infielder, but the present combination of athleticism and bat control gives him a better chance than that to stay at shortstop.
