Scouting the 2016 Draft: Round 5 #155 Ryan Howard

Round 5 #155:  Ryan Howard, SS, Missouri.   6'2", 180 lbs.  DOB:  7/25/1994.  B-R, T-R.

2014:  .237/.340/.302, 8 2B, 21 BB, 20 K's, 169 AB.
2015:  .308/.369/.433, 13 2B, 5 HR, 18 BB, 24 K's, 224 AB.
2016:  .295/.381/.433, 13 2B, 5 HR, 29 BB, 33 K's, 217 AB.
2014 Northwoods League:  .259/.319/.367, 4 2B, 4 HR, 12 BB, 21 K's, 147 AB.
2015 Northwoode League:  .400/.478/.625, 3 2B, 2 HR, 4 BB, 3 K's, 40 AB.

Howard is a typical college SS.  Probably won't stay there in the pros.  Can hit just enough to be a prospect at another position, probably 3B or 2B.  The Baseball Cube gives him a 97 rating on contact!  The Baseball Cube also lists him at 6'1", 192 lbs.  I'll take the extra inch over the extra weight, myself.

  1. Love the re-draft. When the Greybeards like somebody, they keep trying. There's a blurb on him from the Good Phight SBN blog, contact hitter with an allergy to K's... And a Utility label! Excellent. About time the Giants get a utility guy, its the 5th round for crying out loud.
