Relatively unscouted when playing high school ball in San Diego, Hall was taken in the 35th round of the 2019 Draft by the Braves before he began his college career at the University of Oregon. He broke out a bit as a sophomore in '21, then finished strong after a rough start in the Cape Cod League. His offensive game has taken another step forward as a junior, further raising his profile. A left-handed-hitting and throwing outfielder, Hall has the chance to be an impact bat. There’s some definite juice in his swing with plus raw power, especially to the pull side, but he’s shown the ability to hit the ball out the other way, too. His approach got better on the Cape, as he took more pitches and used the whole field more consistently, and that has helped him get to his power more this spring. He crushes fastballs, but he needs to continue to refine his recognition of softer stuff. An outstanding athlete who can record above-average run times, Hall hasn’t been a basestealing threat and his instincts in the outfield are just average. He has the wheels to play center, but he is probably best suited in a corner, with left the most likely landing spot. Teams interested will be buying the power potential, with many scouts confident he’ll get to it consistently at the next level.

Love this Tweet:
FakeDanUggla The MLB draft is so weird. Every pick they’re like “this kid is a hitter, he’s got power like Bonds, he’s like Griffey and Trout combined, he reminds me of a prime Albert Pujols, he’s a steal at this pick” and then you never hear about the dude ever again the rest of your life.

We've never had luck with "Drew" picks or trades in the past.
