Scouting the 2023 Draft: Tommy Troy

Tommy Troy SS.   DOB:  1/17/2002.  B-R, T-R.  5'10", 197 lbs.  

2022(Stanford):  .339/.371/.568, 7 HR, 5 SB, 9 BB, 38 K, 197 PA.

2022(Cape Cod League):  .310/.386/.531, 5 HR, 5 SB, 10 BB, 22 K, 127 PA.

2023(Stanford):  .333/.514/.667, 2 HR, 3 SB, 9 BB, 4 K, 37 PA.

 Whenever I see his name, the first image that comes to mind is the statue of Tommy Trojan on the USC campus, but Tommy Troy is a true 5-tool player for Stanford.  Ranked highly out of HS but not drafted on 2020 due to short draft and commitment to Stanford.  HS numbers from PG:  6.41 60-yard dash, 91 MPH IF/OF, 96 MPH exit velocity.  Most scouts see him as a 2B in MLB but from those numbers should have enough arm to play SS in the majors as well as the speed to play CF.

Elite contact skills but knock is low walk rates.  That looks improved so far this season but SSS.  Hit a HR against CS Fullerton last week that had an exit velocity of 111 MPH.  Would be a very Giantsy first round pick.
