2wins87 Verified Member Posted June 19, 2023 Posted June 19, 2023 Eric Longenhagen has a long-awaited update of the Fangraphs draft board. One guy that really caught my eye was Tommy Troy. He's a guy that has moved up other boards with a good junior year at Stanford, but Longenhagen gives him an 80 grade for his speed, mentioning him being clocked at 4.0-4.1 seconds home-to-first in the Pac-12 tournament and saying that a team could try him out in center. 4.0 would be an 80 grade for a RHH and 4.1 a 70. It's weird that every other blurb from major outlets list him as a bit above average, typically with a 55 grade on his speed. Even if he's a 70 rather than an 80, it would really change his outlook as a prospect quite a bit. It wouldn't give him quite the same defensive floor as Enrique Bradfield who has the experience reading fly balls and the height to make more plays at the wall, but his bat as a center field prospect is actually quite enticing. I'm still not sure how to reconcile the different reports on his speed. I'll be interested if there is any combine data or reports on him.
