Draft Prospects
-
An outfielder/catcher at Oregon, Goldfarb has played more regularly in the outfield and many scouts think that's where he'll fit best thanks to athleticism that has allowed him to make several highlight-reel plays. Goldfarb had a solid freshman season with the Ducks before taking a step back as a sophomore and then missing the 2017 season due to a broken foot. Goldfarb has battled a few freak injuries, but when healthy he offers plus power from the left side and a plus arm that plays in right field. Goldfarb changed his approach during his sophomore season, opting for a more narrow stance with a leg kick that had a lot of moving parts. He's stuck with the approach, smoothing it out this spring and has begun to show more feel to hit. His .311/.400/.503 line in 2018 is the best of his career and Goldfarb has also played well in wood-bat summer leagues in 2015 and 2016. Strikeouts have been an issue with Goldfarb throughout his time in college and will likely continue to hamper him because of the noise in his swing.
