Braylon Payne - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "Payne’s swing looked better this spring, with better direction and balance in his lower half—and he pushed further up draft boards because of those developments. Still, he still might be more of a singles and doubles hitter than a 20-homer threat."

MLB.com - July 1st: "With a compact, flat left-handed swing, Payne likes to use his quick hands to smack grounders to the left side of the infield and his plus-plus speed to beat them out. He opens up early at the plate in an attempt to get down the line as fast as possible, yet he still manages to make repeated contact."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "Payne is a burner with double-plus speed and a whippy, gap-to-gap approach at the plate. He's started adding weight of late and has showcased some very real pull-side power too."
