| Hosmer boasts the smoothest and most natural swing available for the 2008 draft. He would be ranked higher if he played a more demanding position than first base, but that isn’t to take anything away from his future potential, as he could easily find himself taken among the top three to five overall selections next spring if he continues to hit as he’s expected to. Drawing comparisons to the Angels Casey Kotchman, Hosmer has a slick glove that equals his swing, as he has Gold Glove potential at first. His swing develops easy loft power, and he has a very disciplined eye at the plate that allows him to draw walks and smoke mistakes. He has committed to play for Arizona State. |
