    View Draft Report
    Dearden had a strong showing at the Maplezone Invitational in January, thanks to potent lefthanded bat. He flashes plus bat speed and his bat shows violent life in his follow through. While he showed some hard hit ability in spurts this spring, he still has to improve his timing at the plate and learn to loft the ball to get to his power. Dearden's profile is limited; he's a slightly below-average runner and shows fringy arm strength, meaning he's likely to play left field or first base at the next level. Dearden will be 19 on draft day and is committed to Penn State, where he could boost his draft stock and be a draft-eligible sophomore in 2019.
