Max Schrock

In three years with the Gamecocks, Schrock has posted an impressive .302/.392/.460 triple-slash line, showing improved plate discipline from year to year. Schrock's carrying tool his powerful lefthanded bat. He has powerful hands with above-average bat speed and a short, line drive-oriented stroke. Schrock shows average raw power. He has an idea for what he's able to drive, and he's able to poke away junk on the corners, making him a difficult out, even for quality pitchers. Schrock's defensive future is uncertain. Scouts doubt is ability to stick at second base due to his below average body control and foot speed. He does have a quick first step, but lacks ideal range for the position. Schrock also has a below-average arm, which leads scouts to project him as a left fielder. He is a fringy runner. Schrock's track record of performance in the SEC will earn him a chance to prove himself at the next level, though he will have to find a defensive home and hit his way up the ladder.
