Scouting the 2026 Draft: Derek Curiel

Derek Curiel OF, College(LSU).  DOB:  5/24/2005.  B-L, T-L.  6' 2", 175 lbs.  

2025:  .345/.470/.519, 7 HR, 3 SB, 16.4 BB%, 17.3 K%, 323 PA.

At one point there was talk of Curiel being a first round pick out of high school but his stock fell after a disappointing senior season.  He opted to play college ball at LSU and had an impressive freshman season as an ultra high contact leadoff hitter.  Played mostly LF and will try to further raise his stock by moving to CF as his primary position as a draft-eligible sophomore.  Current gap power will have to generate more home runs if he has to play corner OF in the pros.
