Easton Shelton
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Shelton has emerged as a legitimate power prospect after a 2026 season in which he combined a .297 average, .403 on-base percentage, .644 slugging percentage, 37 home runs, and 71 walks over a substantial schedule. The carrying trait is right-handed raw and game power, while the deciding question is whether his contact and swing decisions can improve enough for that power to play against upper-level velocity and breaking pitches. His defensive home is first base, which raises the offensive bar and leaves little room for a low-contact outcome. The conservative projection is a second-division first baseman, with a chance to exceed that if the walk gains persist and the strikeout rate comes down; the floor is an upper-minors power bat whose contact limits sustained major-league exposure.
