View Draft Report
Bourassa is very similar to former Wake Forest star Cory Sullivan, a 2001 seventh-round pick of the Rockies as a senior. Both are diminutive center fielders with plate discipline, speed and instincts, and both starred in the Cape Cod League, where Bourassa finished second in the batting race last summer. Four inches shorter than Sullivan, Bourassa doesn't have his gap power and is more of a slap-and-run style hitter. His defense and leadoff skills will make him an attractive senior sign who could go three rounds higher than Sullivan did.
