Will Craig’s Scouting Report
Craig is one of the better hitters in this year’s draft, but is very limited defensively. He does have a strong arm and could end up at third base or one of the corner outfield spots. Craig has a sound approach at the plate and has the potential to be a 25-plus home run hitter. He is also an on-base machine and rarely swings at bad pitches, resulting in a lot of walks and very few strikeouts.
Strengths
- Plus contact potential
- Plus power potential
- Sound approach at the plate
- Strong arm
- Has the ability to hit to all fields
Weaknesses
- Limited defensively
- Below average runner
