    Sayles made national news for his basestealing exploits, which landed him in Sports Illustrated's "Faces In The Crowd." He stole 103 bases this spring in 104 attempts, believed to be a national high school single-season record. He's at least a 70 runner on the 20-80 scouting scale, but that's his only plus tool. He's a prep shortstop who plays against poor competition in Mississippi and has little exposure to quality pitching. His swing is geared around contact and will have to be refined. The 5-foot-9, 185-pounder has some strength as well and is committed to Chipola (Fla.) JC. He is considered signable.
