19. Jack Hurley

Outfield, Virginia Tech 

Hurley is a bit of a five-tool player who can impact the game in every aspect. He's got the hit tool and the raw power, and he's got the speed to steal double-digit bases as a pro. If there's one critique here, it may be that the throwing arm is below average, maybe a touch better than that. Hurley comes packed in an athletic frame with well-proportioned strength and organic loft built into his swing. He doesn't have to sellout for power or force things to his pull-side. He does a good job staying up the middle of the field and letting his bat speed handle the rest. Hurley has gone through occasional periods of swing-and-miss, coming almost exclusively by way of the changeup, but that's a development piece that should come as he ages. This is a big league regular bat.

12. Jack Hurley, OF, Virginia Tech

Hurley put up monster numbers in a loaded Virginia Tech lineup last spring, batting .375/.452/.664 with 14 homers and 10 steals and outperforming No. 9 overall pick Gavin Cross. He makes a lot of hard contact despite a busy left-handed swing, and he also has plus speed and a shot at playing center field.

27. New York Yankees

Jack Hurley, OF, Virginia Tech 

Hurley is a five-tool type of guy, though none of his tools are specifically loud. He does everything well and he’s been a consistent performer inside a powerhouse lineup for two years now. Hurley has the ability to handle centerfield, but may be better suited for left field where his throwing arm won’t be challenged quite as much. Hurley’s got a good shot at being a solid big league regular who can contribute in a number of ways and become a staple at the top of a lineup for a decade.
