Jace LaViolette - Prospect Profile

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."
