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.
