Burle Dixon

A physical, 6-foot-5, 185-pound outfielder, Dixon intrigues scouts with plus running ability, twitchy athleticism and above-average arm strength. A gym rat, Dixon’s frame has changed drastically in the last few years, although much of that can be attributed to a growth spurt of five or six inches. He’s long and lanky now, and he uses the entire field with solid power that should improve as he continues to fill out his tall frame. This spring, Dixon led Cosumnes in slugging and posted a .335/.474/.553 slash line with five home runs, five triples and 10 doubles. He struck out 34 times compared to 26 walks, and he was hit by pitches a ridiculous 19 times in just 43 games. Defensively, Dixon plays right field for Cosumnes, but scouts believe he has a chance to play center field if his size doesn’t force him into a corner down the line.
