Patrick Bailey - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - May : "Bailey is a switch-hitter whose strength gives him solid raw power from both sides of the plate. His pop stands out more than his hitting ability, though he makes consistent contact and draws a healthy amount of walks. While he wasn't productive with wood bats last summer with Team USA, scouts believe he'll produce enough offense to profile as a regular."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 13th: "Offensively, Bailey certainly has more impact than scouts expected back in his high school days and has shown above-average raw power from both sides of the plate. His swing is more fluid with better contact ability from the left side, and most scouts think he’s more of a power bat than a true hitter, with grades ranging from below-average to average on his future hit tool."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - May 13th: "Bailey is the consensus top catcher in the draft and likely doesn't get out of the top 20."

Ian Smith - Prospect 365 - Apr. 26th: "While showing a consistent knack for barreling the ball, the 21-year-old has been known to sell out on breaking balls on occasion. And while pitch recognition is an aspect that can be developed and improved as a professional, Bailey presents a 45-50 hit tool at peak with possible 60-grade power."

Dan Zielinki - Baseball Prospect Journal - Mar. 22nd: "He’s a defensive-first catcher, who possesses athleticism, above-average arm strength and solid receiving skills. He is a switch hitter who has solid raw power and plate discipline from both sides of the plate."

Keith Law - The Athletic - Mar. 16th: "Bailey is a no-doubt catcher with good instincts on both sides of the ball, solid contact rates, and a little pop. "

Athlon Sports - Mar. 10th: "Bailey is a very well-rounded catching prospect with a smooth stroke from both sides of the plate and solid defense as well."
