Scouting the 2020 Draft: Enrique Bradfield Jr.

Enrique Bradfield Jr. OF, HS.  B-L, T-L.  6'0", 155 lbs.

4 tool athlete with tremendous speed.  Possibly fastest kid in the draft with a 6.26 60-yd dash.  FB only 74 off the mound but 85 MPH on OF throws.  Thin frame with limited room to add weight, but wiry strong.  More of a line drive stroke but barrels it up and drives outside pitches the other way.  Already has good pitch recognition skills.  Projects as a true CF/leadoff batter.  My comp is Dee Gordon but I've also seen Juan Pierre and Kenny Lofton comps.  Committed to Vanderbilt so may have to go in first round to go pro which is a bit of a stretch.  Fangraphs has him ranked #84 and calls him a "skinny 70 runner with slash and dash approach."  PG says "outstanding athlete and bat really projects."  MLB Pipeline has him ranked #79 and notes "top-of-the-scale speed and "knows his game is to see pitches, get on base, put the ball in play and let his legs do the rest....old school leadoff type hitter."  MLB Pipeline also notes he is a "....polarizing prospect because of a lack of physicality and questions over his ability to add strength."
