    The Texas center fielder put together a strong spring for the 47-22 College World Series squad. Posting a .319 batting average, the 6-foot 185-pound redshirt sophomore led the team with 26 doubles while also belting 10 home runs. Most of Hodo’s power takes place to the pull side, but he has shown the ability to drive the ball to all fields. He is an aggressive swinger, expanding his zone at times simply trying to do too much. However, scouts love Hodo’s compact stroke that possesses plenty of bat speed that should allow him to make a smooth transition into pro ball. With athleticism and a high baseball IQ, Hodo will likely have no problem sticking in center field. He should continue to improve his game as he gets more experience to go with an intriguing skill set.
