Scouting the 2018 Draft: Jeremy Eierman

Jeremy Eierman is a college SS from Missouri St U who generated some buzz with 23 dingers last season.  He's B-R, T-R and goes 6'1", 205 lbs. and does not look like a typical shortstop.  A big chunk of that weight is packed into massively muscled thighs and glutes.  He does seem to be able to scoot around the infield though and has also played 2B and 3B.  He's got enough arm to play on the left side of the IF with throws recorded up to 89 MPH coming out of HS.  At the plate, he has a spread stance and generates power by torquing his body.  Here are his college stat lines:

2016:  .296/.336/.504, 13 2B, 4 3B, 9 HR, 12 BB, 67 K, 230 AB.
2017:  .313/.431/.675, 15 2B, 2 3B, 23 HR, 41 BB, 61 K, 243 AB.

Eierman does not look like a SS to me and will likely end up at 2B or 3B.  I would probably put him in the 3'rd tier of draft prospects with more late first or second round talent.
