A multi-sport athlete coming out of high school, Bridges ran track, played soccer and was on the swim team at South Johnston High in Four Oaks, N.C. before establishing himself as a regular with UNC-Wilmington. Bridges started 57 games as a freshman and has been a reliable outfielder for the Seahawks for three years. His carrying tool is his speed. Scouts see a 70-grade runner who has the ability to play center field well and could also handle every outfield position if necessary. While Bridges has a light bat—he’s a career .260/.323/.359 hitter in the Colonial Athletic Association—his speed should get him drafted. He’s stolen 39 bases in 49 attempts (79.6 percent) in college and could carve out a role as a reserve outfielder with game-changing running ability, but scouts aren’t sure he’ll hit enough or have enough pop to profile as a regular. Bridges played 10 games in the Cape Cod League last summer, where he hit .200/.286/.240 with 11 strikeouts to two walks.
