Daylen Lile is a 2021 OF/MIF with a 6-0 195 lb. frame from Louisville, KY who attends Trinity. Strong athletic build. Left handed hitter, starts slightly open with a good close to contact, has very quick hands with explosiveness at the ball, pure hitter's hands that drive his swing, outstanding barrel to ball skills, gets carry to all fields. 6.70 runner, compact arm action on his throws, makes accurate throws. Bat is his tool and it's one of the better ones in the class.

 

 Prospect Worldwide -

 

Daylen Lyle – OF: I’ve said for a few months now I truly believe Lyle has the absolute best Hit Tool (60) in the Prep class. His pure hitability is unmatched consistently against the better pitching in the class. He shows plus bat speed to pair with hands and bat control he shows a knack for barreling up balls more consistently than most in the class. Likely a 15 HR guy at his peak, and profiling as a strong Lead-off talent with his ability to find his way on base at a high rate. A corner OF profile as he ages. I see a similar player, although not a leadoff hitters, David Peralta and Michael Brantley, and he may have a tick more speed then each of them.

Daylen Lile - One of the best contact hitters in the prep class, Lile didn’t do anything particularly loud at the AAC. That said it’s been a particularly strong summer for the Louisville commit making the tournament team at Area Code. He had his usual strong round of BP on Thursday, displaying his simple, clean, and balanced stroke. The highlight of his weekend was a great play he made in Thursday’s scrimmage to rob Braden Montgomery of a hit. He tested well in the Diamond Kinetics numbers as well, showing good barrel speed, impact momentum, and max acceleration.
