Jasiah Dixon

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Pittsburgh Pirates #30 prospect in 2020
  TRACK RECORD: Dixon was one of the most-seen high school players in the country as a four-year starter at national power Orange (Calif.) Lutheran. Questions about his bat and the strength of his commitment to Southern California caused him to fall to the 23rd of the draft, where the Pirates grabbed him and signed him for an above-slot $225,000. Dixon promptly went out and hit .329 in his pro debut while showing some of the best speed in the Pirates' system.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Dixon has the tools to be a dynamic player. He's a plus-plus runner, has pure arm strength and the ingredients to be an above-average to plus defender in center field. Dixon has plus bat speed and makes contact, but his lack of natural timing or feel for the barrel led to a lot of mis-hit balls and poor quality contact in high school. He answered questions about his bat by showing excellent plate discipline and better quality contact in his pro debut, with flashes of average raw power.
  
  THE FUTURE: Dixon has the look of a speedy, leadoff-hitting center fielder. He will try to show his hitting strides weren't a fluke at low Class A Greensboro in 2020.
