Levi Usher OF Louisville

 

robmorrison14's comments: A high risk, high reward pick for Toronto. Given they seem to be heading in the right direction it might be a great time to take that risk. Great defensive CF and can easily steal 30-40 bases a game if his progress pays off.

17. Levi Usher - OF

 

Bio:

 

Height: 6-1

Weight: 195 lbs

Hits/Throws: L-R

Hometown: Fairfax, IA

School: Louisville

 

One of the most tooled up players in the college class, Usher went the JUCO route before matriculating to Louisville. In his Cardinals debut he slashed .411/.484/.571 with a pair of homers in the shortened 2020 campaign. A quick twitch athlete with plus plus wheels, a strong throwing arm and elite bat speed Usher is an exciting prospect on both sides of the ball. Squarely in the same conversation as guys like Wilson, Cowser and Martin.

The Pick- OF Levi Usher • Louisville

 

            6’1” • 195lb

 

One of the most intriguing players in this year’s class falls to Toronto here. A true center fielder with plus to double plus arm strength and an above average glove. Usher can change the game with his speed, successful on 47 out of 50 stolen base attempts in his college career including 11 in 16 games in 2020 at Louisville. Really sound left-handed swing that shows present gap power to all fields and a plus hit tool. Might be the most tooled up player in the entire college class.
