MLB Draft Combine 2025: Meet the 10 Rising Stars Who Shocked Scouts in Phoenix This Week
Crucial questions remain about the viability of Gray as a catcher; he lacks polish, and his size (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) could be prohibitive for a future as a backstop. But switch-hitters with this kind of juice from both sides of the plate do not grow on trees, and if the bat comes along as many hope it could, Gray could transition to the outfield and still project as an extremely valuable prospect. He also doesn’t turn 18 until a month after the draft, making him all the more enticing for teams that put a premium on age in evaluations. There’s a lot of risk baked into this profile, but it seems increasingly unlikely that Gray will make it to campus in Eugene. A sizable signing bonus should be in play instead. Sorry, Ducks.
