Mitch Haniger Perfect Game profile

Position:  OF
Height:  6-2
Weight: 215
Bats/Throws: R/R
Birthdate:  December 23, 1990
College:  Cal Poly
Hometown:  Santa Clara, Calif.
Previously Drafted:  Mets '09 (31)
Projected Draft Round:  1S, 2

An athletic talent in a pro-like 6-foot-2, 215-pound frame, Haniger is a complete package, capable of showcasing all five tools—particularly power and arm strength.

Even as he hit just .275-6-27 as a sophomore for Cal Poly, it was evident that Haniger had the natural ability to be a productive offensive player, and he has responded this season by batting .342-12-58, topping the Mustangs in homers and RBIs. He makes consistent, hard contact and his raw power has started to evolve into a legitimate weapon, though is still mostly to the gaps.
