    View Draft Report
    Justin Henry has shown enough ability at the plate to warrant consideration in the top 10 rounds of this year's draft. Justin is a 65 runner on the 20-to-80 scale, which helped him steal 21 bases in 26 attempts for Ole Miss this spring. He has a simple, line-drive approach and he uses his hands well throughout his swing, showing good barrel awareness. He works counts well and has a good two-strike approach. He spent most of the season manning left field, though he can play all three outfield positions and ultimately profiles as a utilityman as a professional. He has no power and rarely pulls the ball.
