Jace LaViolette - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - July 1st: "Possessing as much raw power as anyone in the Draft, LaViolette is built to crush balls with a quick left-handed stroke, the strength and leverage in his impressive 6-foot-6 frame and a focus on launching pitches to his pull side. He also makes quality swing decisions but the lone flaw in his offensive game does scare some teams."

Keith Law - The Athletic - July 1st: "I don’t think he’s a center fielder but would expect at least 55 defense in right. If you think you can solve some of his in-zone miss, whether it’s by adjusting his swing to give him a load and some more rhythm or if you think it’s about pitch recognition, he does have 30-homer upside."

Baseball America - June 25th: "LaViolette is tremendously physical with a 6-foot-6, 230-pound frame and tons of strength. He has a stiff—almost robotic—operation in the box that features little to no movement in his setup and load phase, but he generates thunderous raw power that led to 68 home runs in three seasons."

Tyler Jennings - Just Baseball - March 24th: "To start 2025, there’s been more stiffness in his swing and there’s more concerns arising about the quality of the hit tool on display. Until the whiffs come down and everything becomes more fluid, he’s not the top dog in college."

Prep Baseball Draft HQ - March 19th: "He’s still patrolling center field for Texas A&M though, and there aren’t many center fielders in the sport with his kind of power potential at the pro level, so his draft stock hasn’t yet taken a huge hit."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - March 10th: "If he gets hot in conference play and rights the ship, I imagine the industry will be forgiving of a slow three-week stretch to start the season."

Keith Law - The Athletic - March 4th: "I don’t know about this one; LaViolette has the power to go 1-1, but there’s a mixed camp on whether he stays in center, and he struck out 81 times (24.2 percent) last spring, an unthinkable number and rate for a top-10 pick."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - February 21st: "I wouldn't expect 55.9 career WAR in the majors from Laviolette -- he's likely a pro corner outfielder and has some bat-to-ball questions -- but he's the best player in the class."
