Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Mike Kinsela
Age: 19 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 165 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Slender, twitchy build with lean musculature and some physical projection remaining. Fast-twitch, athletic build; built compactly with good strength for his size overall.
Hit: Vogel employs a very simple, very direct stroke that is built more for contact than power, but he does have some punch behind the swing. It's balanced and repeatable and able to cover the plate, and Vogel shows the requisite bat speed to project his ability to get to velocity, and the overall feel for the barrel does stand out. Whole-field approach who will maximize contact with his speed, can easily expect batting average and OBP to be buoyed by infield hits. Grade: 50
Power: He's undersized and lithely built with some punch to the swing but not a ton of HR power at present, can dip and rip and hit the ball out to the pull-side at times, power numbers will be aided by speed turning doubles into triples and the like, top/bottom of the order guy, won't hit a ton of home runs, swing plane is more linear and geared for sprayed liners, should still be a .400+ SLG% guy and able to drive out 10ish bombs a year. Grade: 40
Field: Plays center field, speed allows him to cover perhaps the most ground of anyone in the '20 prep class, has feel for routes and positioning, definitely projects to stay in center long term, speed should allow him to be a defensive asset, reads ball off the bat well and has lightning-quick first step. Grade: 55
Arm: Solid tool, quick release with real velocity and carry, was clocked up to 95 mph from the OF at Perfect Game National, gets the most out of arm, clean release, accuracy continues to evolve, should be a quality tool long term that aids his defensive game. Grade: 55
Run: The best tool of the arsenal, has clocked 80 times repeatedly down the line as well as in the 60 yard dash, extremely fast first step and extremely fast up to top gear, speed will win him base hits and extra bases offensively, have seen sub-4 second digs from the right side of the plate, times average out in the 4.1 seconds range. Grade: 70
Overall: Speed-first center fielder with hit tool projection. Lacks power and power projection but won't be a punch-less bat, can project to play everyday on strength of total profile including speed and defense, likely outcome is 4th outfielder but has a chance to play everyday if bat comes along well.
