Robert Hassell III- Prospect Profile

MLB.com - May : "The best pure hitter in the 2020 prep class, Hassell has a pretty left-handed stroke and the hand-eye coordination to barrel balls with ease. He's at his best when he lashes line drives to all fields but his swing got too uphill when he made a conscious effort to hit homers in the middle of the summer."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 13th: "Hassell has a fairly lean frame at 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, and scouts are mixed on his future power potential, with some wondering how much bigger he’ll get and others more optimistic about him developing average or 55-grade power. Defensively, Hassell has a chance to stick in center field."

Ian Smith - Prospect 365 - Apr. 26th: "Hassell possesses a very lean 6-foot-2 frame that looks to be very projectable. Further physical development should lead to adequate power, perhaps projecting to above average raw at his best. Hassell shows ability to play all outfield positions with his plus arm and speed tools, but as he grows into his frame, the idea of him playing in a corner seems the most likely."

Dan Zielinki - Baseball Prospect Journal - Mar. 22nd: "Robert Hassell has a beautiful left-handed swing and consistently barrels up pitches. He currently has solid raw power. He has a chance to stick in center field, but he might end up in a corner position in pro ball."

Keith Law - The Athletic - Mar. 16th: "Hassell has a great left-handed swing that’s a little flatter than Veen’s and should produce high averages but not the kind of plus power that Veen or Hendrick have shown."
