Draft Prospects

School: Arkansas Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.5
Aloy transferred to Arkansas after producing one of the best seasons of any true freshman in 2023, hitting .376/.427/.662 in 56 games for Sacramento State to win WAC freshman of the year. Aloy has a physical build at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, and possesses plenty of natural strength. He has an interesting setup at the plate and stands slightly hunched over with a low handset. Aloy uses a toe tap as a timing mechanism and has above-average bat speed. He generates quality contact and can drive the baseball into either gap with authority. Aloy has above-average raw power, especially to the pull side, and posted a max exit velocity of 111.1 in 2023. While Aloy’s aggressive approach last spring warranted positive results, it also led to high chase rates across the board. Picking up spin seems to be one bugaboo, and he has a tendency to swing-and-miss and expand the strike zone. Aloy’s shortstop defense was inconsistent in 2023. He made 17 errors overall, but just one after April 29. He has average arm strength, and his overall defensive skill set might be best suited for second base. This spring, he projects to be Dave Van Horn’s everyday shortstop. Facing SEC pitching will be a new challenge. Aloy has performed well this fall, and with another strong spring he could establish himself as a slam dunk first-round pick. -
