Scouting Video: Derek Dietrich, SS, Georgia Tech (2010 Draft)

Derek Dietrich should be the best hitter of the college shortstops in the 2010 draft over the long haul. The best you can say is I see no reason why this guy should not hit. Everything else will be adequate. He won’t run a lot, his arm will be more than enough, his glove will work. You might see him wind up at second base, where his arm strength would play on the double play pivot. You could find him at third if there’s more power. I think you move him to second and you get an above-average offensive player at the position.
