20. Cory Acton University of Florida (FL) West Boca Snappers IF RS Sophomore (draft eligible 2021) 6’0/200L/R Ft. Lauderdale, FL Draft History: 39th Rd 2018 DET

 

Acton is a left-handed hitting 2B with strength and a compact, athletic build. He has a calm set up in the box, produces power with a medium leg kick in his swing and loft to path. He looks to impact the baseball and do damage mostly pull side. Can get overly uphill at times and hurts his ability to make contact. Acton is a solid defender at 2B and can work at 3B as well with average hands and first step. He has above average arm strength for 3B and is an average runner. This summer he hit .304 with 3 doubles and 8 RBI’s. His approach at the plate leads to swing and miss which he will need to cut down on to boost his 2021 draft stock.
