Draft 13 - Round 7 (206th overall) - 1B - Matt Oberste

6-2, 210, R/R, 10-18-91, Oklahoma - I didn't have him in my top 266 picks


.376, 11-HR, 60-RBI, 12-SB


Baseball Instinct - 99. Matt Oberste, 1B Oklahoma 10/18/1991 H:6’2″ W:210 – Oberste would be higher on this list if we thought he could handle the OF, but he looks like he will be relegated to 1B. He’s a R/R so he’s going to need to really hit to make it. He has the bat, but his power is just average. Our Instinct: He doesn’t project as a true power hitting 1B, but could be enough of a hitter to carve out a nice career. He’s one of the nation’s leaders in BA in College ball and projects to hit 15-20 HR annually. Not bad. If he can play the OF, even better
