Grady Emerson - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 8th: "Listed at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, Emerson has a calm and relaxed presence in the box with an efficient left-handed swing. It’s a quick, compact stroke with a clean and level path that allows him to keep his barrel in the hitting zone for ages and make plenty of contact."

Prospects 1500 - July 8th: "Thanks in part to the experience he gained winning a gold medal with Team USA in the World Cup, I could see Emerson moving quicker than the typical HS bat."

MLB -July : "Emerson's advanced skills stand out as much as his tools, starting with the way he stacks up quality at-bats, making good swing decisions and barreling balls to all fields. He generates impressive exit velocities with a pretty left-handed stroke, and while he doesn't sell out for power, his bat speed and projectable strength portend future 25-homer pop."

Keith Law - The Athletic - July 1st: "His case is much more about his skills rather than plus tools or athleticism, and the descriptions I hear from scouts and execs make it sound like they’re hoping he’s the next Kevin McGonigle. And maybe he is: Emerson does hit, making contact at a reasonably high clip last summer at showcases (13.3 percent strikeout rate, 23.3 percent whiff rate), while showing fringe-average power now that projects to above-average at his peak."
