Scouting the 2020 Draft: Justin Foscue


Justin Foscue 2B/3B, College(Mississippi St).  B-R, T-R.  6'0", 205 lbs.

2018:  .241/.332/.353, 12 2B, 3 HR, 22 BB, 22 K, 187 AB.
2019:  .331/.395/.564, 22 2B, 14 HR, 30 BB, 32 K, 275 AB.
Team USA:  .255/.288/.362.

Justin Foscue had a terrific offensive season for Mississippi St while splitting his defensive games evenly between 2B and 3B.  He's a thick bodied and limbed player who is strong enough to generate power without selling out.  There's a video of him taking batting practice in shorts.  His legs look like tree trunks and his arms like large but short branches!  The Dan Uggla comps are inevitable.  Some team could take him in the top 50 if they believe enough in the bat.  It seems highly unlikely that he will ever be a defensive asset.
