    View Draft Report
    Bourn is as fast as any prospect in the draft. After leading the Cape Cod League with 23 steals last summer, he missed four weeks early this season after breaking the hamate bone in his right wrist. He's perfectly content to play a speed game, slapping balls to the left side of the field and putting pressure on the defense. For a potential leadoff man, he was too aggressive this spring and his walk rate plummeted. He's good at chasing balls down in center field and has a playable arm.
