In previous installments of our Draft Focus series, we’ve talked about the highly valued currency of lefthanded power bats. Well, Derek Fisher is pretty good living and walking proof of how highly valued a lefthanded bat can be, especially if they add some speed and athleticism to the table as well. Fisher has been coveted by professional scouts for a number of years now, dating back to his high school days, and the main impetus behind that has been his smooth, compact and effortless lefthanded stroke. And all he has done since arriving on campus at Virginia is continue to prove talent evaluators very right.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
