View Draft Report
A 38th-round pick by the Marlins out of high school, Turner steadily progressed as a hitter over three seasons at Southern California and had a career-best performance this spring. He hit .330/.419/.514 with 15 doubles, 15 stolen bases and nearly as many walks (25) as strikeouts (27). A 5-foot-10, 170-pound infielder, Turner sprays the ball around the field with a quick, flat swing and a line-drive approach. He has good timing and a natural feel for the barrel that allows him to make impressively hard contact for his thin frame. Turner's power is well below-average and he won't be much of a home run threat, but he can drive balls into the gaps and rack up extra bases with his plus-plus speed. He’s also a threat on the bases and stole 40 bags in 49 attempts in his college career. A former shortstop, Turner’s arm is well below-average and will limit him to second base, where he has fast, reliable hands and a quick transfer. He can also play center field and left field as needed.
