Tristan Pompey is an college OF prospect for Kentucky by way of Canada. He is the brother of Toronto Blue Jays OF Dalton Pompey. Tristan is athletic, lanky 6'4", 195 lbs, B-S, T-R. He has both the speed and arm to play either CF or RF. He had a breakout year at the plate in 2017: .361/464/.541, 18 2B, 10 HR, 9 SB, 46 BB, 56 K, 320 PA. His follow up stint in the Cape Cod league was not as spectacular as he struggled to a .230 BA in 87 AB.
Pompey has oodles of physical projectabilty and is someone you could dream on. The big question for me is whether the bat is for real. Tall, lanky guys tend to have trouble controlling the strike zone and to me Pompey looks just a bit awkward at the plate. My comp is Dexter Fowler who took awhile to develop but eventually turned into a pretty good ballplayer worthy of a first round draft pick, but maybe not #2 overall? The ceiling is intriguing, though.
