White Sox Take Jared Mitchell with 1st Round Pick

144

17. Jared Mitchell, OF, Louisiana State The Good: The best college athlete in the draft by a mile; he's made consistent progress at LSU as far as his hitting, especially in developing a more patient approach and finding his power; he's plus-plus runner and a true weapon on the basepaths. The Bad: He's far more raw than most players out of a major college, with lots of swings and misses in his game; he is not an instinctual outfielder. In A Perfect World He Becomes: He has true impact potential, but comes with a fair share of risk. Goldstein
