1. Matt Thaiss (C,1B) ... 5-11, 197 ... L/R ... 21 ... 2016 (1) University of Virginia
Comments: Natural-hitting prospect who moved from C to 1B upon signing. Brings very mature approach to plate and works counts to find pitches to drive to all fields. Has raw power, but mostly hits hard line drives to gaps. Increased HR could result in lower BA. Has nice swing and shows aptitude against LHP. Not much...
