Danny Serretti

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #346 prospect in 2021 draft
  Serretti impressed as a freshman at North Carolina, when he hit .299/.373/.424 while also handling the team’s shortstop duties and hitting from both sides of the plate. That performance, switch-hitting ability, and shortstop profile put some lofty expectations on him after the 2019 season, but Serretti has struggled with the bat since then. He hit just .250/.356/.276 in the shortened 2020 season and this spring put up a .249/.332/.488 line with nine home runs and 18 doubles while striking out about 20% of the time. He has a solid line-drive stroke that allows him to hit doubles into the gap, but with a career .271 average there’s skepticism about his pure hit tool. Serretti has impressive hands and glove work that would be enough for a middle infield position, but scouts question his speed—he’s a below-average runner—footwork and the angles he takes defensively. He throws fine for the left side of the infield. Serretti entered the season as a potential top-five round sort of player, but his limited tool set and lack of offensive production make that unlikely now.
