Braxton Davidson's Player Profile

Hit / On-base – Davidson may have the best left-handed swing in this draft; there’s little to no wasted movement and he has tremendous feel for hitting, hitting the ball with authority to all parts of the field. If there’s anyone with a 70 hit tool in this class, it’s Davidson.

Power – Davidson has plus power to the pull side and above average pop to opposite feel; supplemented by plus bat speed and he transfers his weight very well.

Speed – While Davidson isn’t a bad athlete, he also isn’t very fast, and I wouldn’t expect very many stolen bases or first to thirds over his career.

Glove – The glove is the reason that Davidson isn’t considered a potential top five pick right now. Some believe he could play an adequate corner outfield – and he does have above-average arm strength – but I think his future as at first, where he’s just about average.
