Darryl Collins

Organization Prospect Rankings

• 
  Ranked Kansas City Royals #29 prospect in 2021
  TRACK RECORD: Collins is the rare baseball prospect from The Netherlands, but his athleticism and ability to hit that have attracted more interest than his nationality. He began his pro career in the Rookielevel Arizona League and hit .320/.401/.436 as a 17-year-old. He left early to represent his nation at the Under 18 World Cup in Korea and was named to the All-World team. Collins got back on the field in 2020 at instructional league.
  
  SCOUTING REPORT: Collins has added strength since his debut season without affecting his athleticism. He's more of a hit over power type, with plus bat speed and a good approach at the plate. Since he's likely to be limited to left field, Collins will need to develop more power. He's a plus runner underway but projects as more of an average runner or a tick above as he continues to grow. A below-average arm will keep him out of right field. He is mature for his age and a hard worker.
  
  THE FUTURE: Collins still has a long way to go. A corner outfielder with power questions and an unorthodox profile, he may still have the hitting potential to make it work.
