Drew Faurot , SS - Florida state
Prospects
Live Ranking - #65
Faurot
started his career at UCF before transferring to Florida State where he’s been
nothing short of impressive. The
Tallahassee native is a switch hitter that has the ability to play both
positions up the middle. Hitting .286
with 19 doubles in 59 games, Faurot was a vital contributor for Florida State
over the course of their momentous season. He’s far more successful as a
left-handed hitter, with a batting average of .314, compared to just .214 from
the right side. Faurot possesses decent
bat speed and batted ball data, having a max exit velocity of 109 MPH in
2024. Though his contact rates are fine,
his pitch recognition skills could be improved, specifically against
off-speed. His defense has gotten better
over his collegiate career, as well as his range up the middle when balls are
hit in the pockets. Expect Faurot’s
offensive numbers to be a tick better while playing a healthy amount of both
second base and shortstop for the Seminoles in 2025.
