24. George Lombard Jr., SS, Gulliver Schools HS (FL) – The son of Detroit Tigers bench coach, the Jr. Lombard is, unsurprisingly, very fundamentally sound. His transfer from glove to throw is super quick and will keep him up the middle even if some don’t love his arm, I think it is enough to stay at short. The ball really jumps off the bat thanks to his quick bat with a short swing to the zone. There might not be a plus tool in the mix, although raw power is close, but he doesn’t have a tool that is below average either.

78 SS

George Lombard Jr.

Gulliver Prep

Lombard possesses just about every tool a team could ask for in a prep prospect. There's a hit tool here, significant power in a long, athletic frame, and a the ability to really run the bases with present above average speed. He's a pretty big kid, so his future may ultimately be at second base or left field; his arm strength and throwing motion adding to that notion. Regardless, this is one of the premium bats available on the prep side in the 2023 class with a definitive chance of going on day one.

I always compare guys like this to Gavin Cecchini who was a high first round pick. Seems like similar skills.

What do you think? Could he be a McNeil 2? Any chance we sign him Mr Mack?

Sure there is a chance.

Right now I have him in the 3rd/4th round
