Jerrion Ealy
Mississippi OF
Ht: 5-8 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R
Commit/Drafted: D-backs '19 (31)
Age At Draft: 20.9
Arguably the best athlete in the 2019 draft class, Ealy was a five-star running back with a baseball and football commitment to Mississippi. The No. 62 prospect in the class, Ealy struggled with the bat during the spring of his senior season against below-average Mississippi pitching, but he has exceptional tools in his plus raw power, plus speed, plus arm strength and explosive athleticism. Ealy earned second team All-SEC and Freshman All-SEC honors for his work on the gridiron, and he rushed for 722 yards on 104 attempts (6.9 yards per attempt) while scoring six touchdowns, and added 172 yards and another touchdown through the air. Given the shortened 2020 baseball season, Ealy has certainly been more impactful for the Rebels’ football program. He started six games in center field for the baseball team, hitting just .182/.321/.273 with nine strikeouts and four walks in 28 plate appearances. There are real questions about the quality of Ealy’s hit tool despite his impressive bat speed. He’s struggled with timing and pitch recognition in the past, but the fact that he’s been a high-level football player for his entire life means scouts will give him the benefit of the doubt and expect gains in those areas if he ever exclusively focuses on baseball. The draft being pushed back makes Ealy eligible in 2021—he turns 21 eight days before the Aug. 27 cutoff—and every team will be excited about adding his athletic toolset and tantalizing upside. Complicating Ealy's situation further, however, is that he will be out this spring after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder at the end of football season.

Big-time athlete with big football talent too. Huge speed and very, very good defender in centerfield. Ealy will need to prove the bat is worthy of a high draft pick/the ability to reach his big league regular ceiling.
