    View Draft Report
    Fulton is viewed as a third- or fourth-round talent, but he may go a round or two earlier because of the shortage of quality middle infielders in the draft. He offers the total package at shortstop. He has great hands, solid arm strength and a quick first step. He makes most routine plays but tries to be too flashy at times. A quarterback in high school, he's physical and athletic. At 6-foot-4 he might outgrow short, which leads to questions about whether his bat would play at third base. His swing isn't the quickest and can be long at times. He's shown better balance at the plate and needs to get stronger. At 19, he's older than most high school seniors after he was held back a year to gain an athletic advantage. Even as he's hit more than .500 this spring, some say he should be dominating high school players more than he has.
