Drew Burress
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Burress projects as a high-performing college player transitioning to professional baseball with real tools and strong track record. Undersized outfielder with polished offensive approach, elite plate discipline, and plus power production. Most likely to transition to right field at professional level given size and arm strength, though may remain in center field early in development. Realistic chance to be top 10 overall pick in 2026 draft assuming typical final college season. Safe prospect with high floor due to demonstrated production and intelligent approach, though long-term upside may be limited by physical frame and remaining projection. Expected to be professional hitter at multiple levels with ability to be everyday player at major league level if power production translates to wood bat.
