Gavin Fien - Prospect Profile

Tyler Jennings - Just Baseball - March 24th: "Fien is a physical specimen with huge offensive upside in the future. He keeps it simple with a balanced stance at the plate with low-effort mechanics and extension through the baseball. There’s a bit of stiffness to his swing, but that hasn’t stopped his offensive output."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - March 10th: "He raked all summer, and while he does it with a swing that’s a bit odd, it does work for him. I’m not entirely sure where he profiles best defensively. I would run him out at third to start and see how it goes. But I’m drafting a hit tool with power."

Keith Law - The Athletic - March 4th: "Several scouts have said to me that Fien’s the best prep hitter on the West Coast this year, and he does have a good-looking swing to produce line drives with some eventual power. He’s at shortstop now, big for the position but not a lock to move, with a cannon of arm that would let him slide to third with no problem."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - February 21st: "Fien wasn't a workout standout in the summer but hit at every event, leading to scouts taking him seriously as a potential first-rounder. His raw power has progressed and he might stick at third base, which has him projected in the top 10 picks."
