2017 Draft: Austin Beck

Austin Beck | OF

Background
Beck, 18, attends North Davidson High School in the Winston-Salem/Greensboro area. Scouts did not get a chance to see him in showcase events last summer because he tore the meniscus and ACL in his left knee. Beck is committed to North Carolina.

Scouting Report
Few players in the 2017 draft class are as tooled up as Beck. He’s a right-handed hitter and thrower with excellent bat speed and well-above-average power potential. Both his speed and arm rate near the top of the scale as well. Beck possesses three clearly above-average tools and has a chance to be a true five-tool player.
