Physical Description: Short, stocky build. Impressively strong forearms and broad shoulders. Big thighs and butt. Little to no physical projection left. He's an absolutely chiseled unit. Strength is apparent as soon as you see him. Held up well to incredibly long season during my looks. Made College World Series run with Arkansas and then was immediately an everyday part of the Kane County lineup, playing an additional 55 games.

Hit: Starts with his foot on the back line of the box, stance slightly open. Very quiet in the box. Minimal movements, statuesque. Looks a bit stiff in the box. Works deep counts, noticeable two-strike approach geared towards contact. Picks up foot and sets it back down. Small hitch in the load. True all fields approach, in fact went more opposite field than pull. Grade: 45

Power: Above-average raw power but for whatever reason doesn't get to it in games. Average bat speed, partly to blame, also breaks down with two strikes and just focuses on putting bat on the ball. Will take what pitcher gives him, limits power ceiling. Grade: 45

Field: Fletcher is one of the better defenders I've seen on the grass. Has made some acrobatic plays in the outfield. Strong instincts and angles despite fringe-average speed. Could stick in centerfield despite that lack of speed because he is so strong defensively. This is a rich organization in up the middle defenders though and there will likely be someone faster that might be a better fit in center. Grade: 60

Arm: Strong, accurate arm. Have seen him log a few outfield assists already. Arm has plus carry and strong accuracy. It's a legit weapon. Ideally if he finds another gear offensively he can be the everyday guy in right field, but that all depends on the bat. Grade: 60

Run: Fringe-average runner, but speed plays up in the outfield with his strong reads and instincts. Not a base stealing threat, might get the occasional handful by just outsmarting his opponent. Grade: 45

Overall: The brother of Angels utility man David Fletcher, Dominic was one of the team leaders during the Razorbacks NCAA tournament runs. He's a baseball rat, with a strong work ethic and his teammates love him. He falls into a bit of a tweener role for me.He lacks the footspeed for center, but is good enough defensively, his bat just doesn't play on the corner due to his lack of power. He's a big leaguer though.
