    In terms of pure tools, Bogany ranks just behind Jay Bruce and Jordan Danks. But he's more of a raw athlete than a polished player at this point, so he'll be somewhat of a project for whichever club takes him. He lost three weeks of playing time at the beginning of the season when he fouled a ball off his left big toe in Bush High's first scrimmage. He's a plus runner with a quick bat and lots of power potential. He has a long way to go to hit better pitching, however, as he has an inconsistent swing path and struggles with breaking balls. He plays a fine center field and has average arm strength. One scout compares him to Torii Hunter, who had a similar profile coming out of an Arkansas high school and required six years in the minors before putting it all together.
