Corey Ray’s Scouting Report
Ray is a very raw athlete and has the makings of a future star with both contact and power potential. He uses his excellent bat speed to make hard contact and is great at using all fields. He has improved his plate vision in his junior year at Louisville, getting his K/BB ratio down to 1.09. Ray could potentially be a dynamic leadoff batter, but could also bat second or third depending on how his power develops.

Where could Ray end up in the draft?
Ray is one of my favorite players in this year’s draft and I think he could be a dynamic player for a long time. With that being said, I could see Ray going to the Braves at three if the Reds or Phillies take Kyle Lewis. Ray could fall down the to the Athletics at six or the White Sox at 10 if he slips past the Braves.
