Randolph was best HS pure hitter in this draft, questions about where he plays def. in pro ball, but really can hit.

Cornelius Randolph will be a third baseman eventually. Swing is beautiful, though, and he has a chance to be best pure hitter in the draft.

High level scout told me Cornelius Randolph was the best bat in the class, period. #mlbdraft #Phillies

MLB’s Draft report on Cornelius Randolph:
Cornelius Randolph | Rank: 19
School: Griffin HS (Ga.) Year: Senior Position: SS Age: 18 DOB: 6/2/1997 Bats: L Throws: R Height: 6’1″ Weight: 190 lb. Commitment: Clemson

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 40 | Overall: 55
Griffin (Ga.) High has produced a pair of big league infielders in Jeff Treadway and Tim Beckham, and it may have a third on the way in Randolph. He’s Griffin’s best prospect since Beckham and profiles as more of an impact hitter than the No. 1 overall pick in the 2008 Draft has become.
Randolph has the tools and approach to hit for power and average. He offers bat speed, strength and patience from the left side of the plate. He uses the entire field and has better pitch recognition than most high schoolers.
Currently a shortstop, Randolph will move to a less challenging position at the next level. The Clemson recruit has good hands but lacks the quickness to play in the middle infield. His arm hasn’t been as strong this spring, when he has dealt with biceps tendinitis, but it and his bat would profile well at third base.
