Colin Houck - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - May 19th: "Houck's combination of strength and bat speed give him plus raw power, and the right-handed hitter already shows a propensity for driving balls in the air to his pull side. He does swing and miss and chase pitches more than is ideal at times, though there's optimism that he can improve as a hitter once he concentrates solely on baseball."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - May 11th: "Houck has an excellent combination of tools, athleticism, physicality and hitting ability. He is bigger and stronger than McGonigle, if not the same sort of pure hitter, and he might be a better pure hitter than Nimmala without the same raw bat speed."

Jim Callis - MLB.com - May 4th: "Another prep shortstop on the rise, Houck has all-around ability and stands out most with his power potential. The former quarterback should continue to get better as he leaves football in his rear-view mirror."

Prospects Live - April: "Houck has above average to plus physical tools across the board and gets rave reviews for his makeup. With a prototypical body and plus athleticism, he is expected to stick at shortstop and has taken off as a hitter after committing primarily to baseball this past summer."
