#36    Brock Sell

OF      Tokey HS (CA)

18/yrs old     6' 1"    185

COMMITTED - Stanford

Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 45 | Run: 60 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50

Sell established himself as one of the better high school bats in the country, performing at a host of summer showcase events including the Area Code Games and Major League Baseball’s High School All-American Game. He’s definitely the best prep player in Northern California and is probably the best high school player in the area since Henry Bolte was a second-round pick in 2022.

A left-handed hitter, Sell has shown off elite bat-to-ball skills and some areas scouts compare his pure hit tool favorably with 2020 first-rounder Nick Yorke. He has a quick, short swing with almost no load, allowing him to get his barrel through the zone quickly. He can catch up to premium stuff and turned around a Seth Hernandez 100-mph fastball at the Area Code Games over the summer. He’s more hit over power right now, and there are those who wonder about his future impact, but there is some strength for him to tap into for pop down the road.

Sell is also a plus runner, with speed that makes him a threat on the basepaths and also helps him play above-average defense in center field, where he should be able to stay long-term. There’s bound to be early-round interest on Sell because of certainty around his bat, though there is a commitment to Stanford to contend with.

14. Brock Sell, OF, Lodi (California)

Sell made good contact in the past, sometimes at the expense of power, but he started driving the ball more this past season. He has good instincts in center field, and is a good runner.

21. Brock Sell – OF

HT/WT: 6’1/185 | Bat/Throw: L/R | School: Tokay (CA) | Commitment: Stanford | Age: 18.8

While his last name may tell you otherwise, now’s a great time to begin buying stock in Brock Sell.

Sell is an exceptionally twitchy athlete on the field and his game has blossomed over the past year, turning into one of the highest upside profiles in this class. His swing is as simple as they come.

There’s very few wasted movements in his load and the bat explodes through the zone, taking tight turns to the baseball and lacing line drives to all fields.

He can be aggressive and expand the zone a bit, but there’s minimal swing-and-miss to his game and he does a great job of consistently getting the barrel to the baseball.

It’s a hit-over-power profile right now, though he’s begun to tap into more pull-side juice. His hands are very quick and there’s impressive bat speed there.

Sell has been clocked as an above-average to plus runner and has the defensive chops to make a legitimate case to stay in center field.

The arm strength is certainly there, getting into the low-90s from the outfield, plus he’s hovered around 90 MPH on the bump. He is older for the class and committed to Stanford, which is something to keep an eye on, but the tools look too good to pass up right now.
