Hitting ability: Hudson is a below-average hitter right now. He struggles with breaking balls and pitch recognition. He does have a level, direct swing, with an upright stance and high elbow.

Weaknesses: Extremely raw at the plate, he will have to learn how to hit.
Summary: Hudson is an extremely gifted athlete who, if he doesn't become a pro baseball player in June, will head to Oregon State to play football and baseball. He's got plus, plus speed and has shown glimpses of raw power. The concern is that he hasn't shown the ability to make consistent enough contact to reach that power and will have to learn how to hit at the next level. Someone will draft him based on his athleticism and speed, but they'll also know they have a project on their hands.

I love it.

I love how it mentions that he struggles to make contact in his draft report.

Wouldnt have it any other way

Rumor has it Dom Brown's career is probably over with the minor finger injury and we're going to trade Michael Taylor to the M's for Washburn so we needed more toolsy OF's.

We did so well last year, too
