Jonathan Vastine

Vanderbilt

Vastine has long been revered for his hit tool going back to his high school days. The only reason he ended up at Vanderbilt was his signing bonus demands in the draft. There were plenty of teams interested in buying the talented infielder in the second round, but he bet on himself. Blessed with an elite approach and a willingness to take his walks, Vastine is always going to sport high on-base numbers and should put the ball in play better than most. There's not a ton of power in the stick, but he could grow into double-digit power as a pro. Vastine is a bit of a tweener profile for scouts as most expect he fits best at second base at the next level, though he can handle shortstop (where he's played at Vanderbilt) in a pinch. His bat doesn't fit the prototype of a third baseman, but he's certainly got the hands to play there too.
