If a player's Draft status was tied directly to home run derby performances, Gorman might be the No. 1 pick in the Draft. The Arizona prep infielder took long ball crowns at the MLB All-Star Game High School Home Run Derby in Miami and at the Under Armour All-American Game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The left-handed hitter has as much raw power as anyone in the class, with some scouts giving it as high as a 70 grade on the 20-to-80 scale. And it is power that does show up in games, though he didn't swing the bat consistently well all summer. There are some holes in his swing, which will lead to some swing and miss, but those who have seen him when he's locked in have seen his ultra-quick hands and bat speed. He did show that he can make hard contact against good competition at times over the summer, though he'd been a bit inconsistent this spring. One concern was whether he could stick at third, and while Gorman showed well at the hot corner at a variety of summer events, some of those worries did resurface this spring. If a scouting director saw Gorman at the right time, he might think of the University of Arizona commit as a top 10 pick and one of the best high school hitters in the country. Even with an up-and-down senior season, he still looks like one of the better power hitting prospects in the class.
