Alex Kirilloff is a 6'2", 195 lb. outfielder from Plum High School in Pennsylvania who has helium in this draft. Kirilloff is a raw player who has a lot of talent, yet he has not gotten as many opportunities to show scouts what he has compared to Mickey Moniak and Blake Rutherford, both from California. Kirilloff's best tool is his power, but he has a strong enough arm to play right field, and the rest of his tools will profile well as a corner outfielder. Although there are some concerns that his swing will get out of control and he may not be able to hit for a very high average in the majors, he has performed well against the top prep arms in this year's class. Alex is committed to Liberty University, so if he falls there should not be any issues about signability. A native of the Pittsburgh area, Kirilloff has impressed scouts with his makeup both on and off the field. The Twins could have interest in Alex Kirilloff because he is a fairly athletic prep player, and that seems to be their focus in this year's draft.
