7. Enrique Bradfield

Centerfield, Vanderbilt 

Speed, speed and more speed. If Enrique Bradfield isn't the fastest player in the country, he's in the conversation. Bradfield will never been a thumper, but he's got elite vision at the plate, hardly ever expands the zone and walks just about as much as he strikes out. His frame still has room to add some muscle, so it wouldn't surprise scouts if he ended up with enough juice to run into double-digit homers at his pro peak. The story here, however, is a guy who really knows how to get on base and is a nightmare for the opposition when he runs. In the field, he's comfortably a plus defender in center with sublime routes to the ball and a comfort about his game, gliding to the spot. The profile fits somewhere between Jarrod Dyson and Kenny Lofton; a top-of-the-lineup dynamo.

7. Cubs: Enrique Bradfield, OF, Vanderbilt 

Bradfield’s 80-grade speed has been well-known by scouts since his high school days, though there were questions about his lack of strength and ability to impact the ball. He’s never going to be known for power, though he did homer eight times in 2022. That might not matter given that he went 46-for-46 in stolen base attempts in 2022 and has 93 steals in two seasons at Vandy.

Enrique Bradfield Jr., OF, Vanderbilt 

Bradfield possesses elite speed and projects as a quality top-of-the-order hitter in the pro ranks. The 6-foot-1, 160-pound left-handed hitter has a contact-oriented approach with a strong understanding of the strike zone and a proven ability to create disruption on the bases. 

He is a well-regarded defensive center fielder who will remain at the position in pro ball. He runs quality routes and covers a lot of ground due to his speed.
