    There isn't a player in this year's class scouts want to see succeed more than Lemon, the son of former major leaguer Chet. He's a throwback who puts his best effort into everything. To go along with his championship makeup, Lemon has played through his senior season with his dad extremely ill. Lemon works counts, makes consistent contact and uses the entire field, but he doesn't have much load in his swing and lacks looseness in his hands and wrists at the plate. He has some pull power but because he's a fringe-average runner, he can't rely on a slap approach. He has good hands and enough arm to make plays in the hole at short. His remarkable feel and instincts for the game allow him to make spectacular plays. His ceiling isn't considerable, which could lead him to slide outside the top three rounds. Signability could become a question at that point for the Texas signee.
