Myles Emmerson

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #369 prospect in 2021 draft
  Other college catchers on the West Coast entered the year with more hype, but Emmerson steadily outperformed most of them on both sides of the ball and became a scout favorite as the season progressed. He hit .312 for the Mustangs, finishing second on the team behind only top 2022 draft prospect Brooks Lee in hits, runs and doubles, and impressed defensively behind the plate. Emmerson briefly played shortstop at Cal Poly and is a good athlete for a catcher. He is a quiet receiver with soft hands, has good footwork, is flexible and doesn’t take pitches off. He has above-average arm strength and is accurate throwing from all angles. Emmerson has a contact-driven swing and tries to shoot the ball up the middle of the field. He has well below-average power and didn’t hit a single home run for the Mustangs this spring, but he has a chance to be an average hitter with his approach and contact ability. Emmerson is one of the oldest players in the draft and just completed his fifth year at Cal Poly. His defense and contact skills have teams interested in him as a senior sign candidate.
