This Baker trade could be an all timer. I like this kid.

BTW he is 5'10 only if Temarr Johnson is 6'0. Kid is 5'8 on a good day

Dude on the draft coverage said he thought this is who Washington wanted in the 2nd round with some of their savings in the 1st

Law had him as his #18 prospect.

 

Scouting Report

Bats: L, Throws: L

De Brun is a diminutive outfielder from the Pacific Northwest, like Corbin Carroll was; de Brun is listed at 5-10 but may be shorter than that, and like last year’s fun-sized first-rounder Slade Caldwell, he has excellent feel to hit and projects to stay in center field. He takes a solid stride to get his lower half involved, but it’s a slashy swing and he can wrap the bat a little behind his head, creating some extra length to the ball. With two strikes, however, he goes to the Juan Soto double-wide stance to trade some power for contact. He faces the same questions about his ultimate power level that all guys his size do; I’ve had scouts say he’s somewhere in between those two Diamondbacks players in power potential. I felt a little better about Caldwell’s impact, not for power but for consistent hard contact, just for comparison’s sake. De Brun is committed to Vanderbilt.
