Dakota Jordan - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 1st: "A former three-star football player, Jordan is now a draft-eligible sophomore and powerfully built 6-foot, 220-pound outfielder and righthanded hitter with massive raw power. He has top-of-the-scale, lightning-quick hands that lead to titanic blasts to all fields and some of the best exit velocity data in the 2024 draft when he makes contact."

MLB.com - July 1st: "Jordan may have more bat speed than anyone in the 2024 Draft, and his lightning-fast right-handed swing and strength produce huge exit velocities and at least plus power to all fields. He made strides with his pitch recognition and plate discipline as a freshman, inspiring confidence that his pop will translate at higher levels."

Ayrton Ostly - USA Today - July 4th: "...arguably the top bat speed in the class. His strength with that swing bodes well for the majors but will need to improve his plate discipline."

Prospects Live - May 29th: "Jordan's contact rates in 2024 are around the 70% mark and he's chasing around 30%, though that's fine when you have 70-grade juice. Despite his size, Jordan is a plus runner and that gives him enough range in center field to stay out there, though he may have to move to a corner spot."

Joe Doyle - Future Star Series - March 18th: "Ultra-physical right-handed bat. Does a phenomenal job keeping his hands inside and using his core strength to create unreal bat speed. Jordan uses the whole field really well and rarely sells out for pullside power."

MLB.com - March 8th: "Jordan may have more bat speed than anyone in the 2024 Draft, and his lightning-fast right-handed swing and strength produce huge exit velocities and at least plus power to all fields. He made strides with his pitch recognition and plate discipline as a freshman, inspiring confidence that his pop will translate at higher levels."
