Cam Cannarella - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - July 1st: "Cannarella possesses some of the best bat-to-ball skills in the Draft, making line-drive contact to all fields from the left side of the plate. He does venture out of the strike zone at times and gets himself out on suboptimal groundball contact more than he should."

Keith Law - The Athletic - July 1st: "He went from 11 homers as a sophomore to just five this spring, with his exit velocity numbers down a little across the board from last year and his hard-hit rate dropping from 52 percent to 44 percent. He still has a good eye and walked more than he struck out this year, and continues to show plus range in center, although this year he just couldn’t throw."

Baseball America - June 25th: "A thin-framed, 6-foot center fielder, Cannarella stands out for his athleticism, defense and hitting chops. He has an open stance and a noisy setup with his hands, but generally makes high-quality swing decisions with above-average contact ability that leads to sharp line drives to all fields."

Tyler Jennings - Just Baseball - March 24th: "A gamer in every sense of the word, Cannarella is a dangerous hitter with some of the best contact skills in the entire country. It’s a lovely left-handed swing built more for line drives right now, but he’s shown flashes of raw power to the gaps and to his pull side."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - March 10th: "I didn’t think he looked timed up during the first week of the season, and I saw a bit more swing-and-miss than I expected to see. He’s off to a slower start, but I think he could still wind up in the middle of the first round given his track record, athleticism and defensive profile."

Keith Law - The Athletic - March 4th: "A healthy Cannarella had a chance to be in the 1-1 conversation, but his shoulder isn’t right, whether it’s a delayed recovery from shoulder surgery or something new; he’s not throwing well at all and it’s affecting his swing."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - February 21st: "Cannarella is a plus runner and strong defender with plus contact skills, but his chase rate and in-game power lag."
