Chris Hacopian
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his first-round pedigree and demonstrated performance against elite amateur competition, Hacopian projects as a bat-first second baseman with a realistic path to an everyday role if the hit tool holds up. The offensive game should carry him through the lower levels quickly, with the main developmental goals being to add selective loft without sacrificing contact and to maintain his disciplined approach versus better sequencing. Defensively, refinement of positioning, footwork angles, and internal clock can make him playable at second despite limited lateral range, though he is unlikely to be more than fringe-average there. The floor is a bat-oriented role player or right-handed platoon infielder, with the ceiling of a solid regular who hits near the top or middle of a lineup if the power settles in slightly above average.
