Evan Hankins

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #206 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: The Miller School of Albemarle, Charlottsville, Va. Drafted/Committed: Tennessee
  Age At Draft: 19.3
  
  Hankins is a potential middle-of-the-order slugger with raw power that stacks up among the best in the 2025 prep class. A 6-foot-5, 220-pound first baseman, Hankins has plenty of strength and creates leverage and bat speed with his long levers that gives him easy plus power upside. He has a slightly spread and crouched stance without too much rhythm in the box with a standard stride and an uphill bat path. He looks like the sort of hitter who will be able to homer from foul pole to foul pole with the upside to hit close to 30 homers a season. His power does come with swing-and-miss tendencies that will need to be managed against better pitching competition, but even if he has an above-average strikeout rate, he should provide the power to make up for it. Hankins is a well below-average runner who probably doesn’t have the mobility for a corner outfield spot, but is a solid defender at first base. He will get on the mound in high school with a fastball up to 91 and the makings of a slider and changeup, but his offensive upside is far ahead of his pitching. Hankins is old for the class and turned 19 in March before the draft, which will make him an eligible sophomore if he reaches campus at Tennessee.
• Ranked #72 prospect in 2025 draft

  Hankins has raw power that stacks up among the best in the 2025 class. He has impressive strength, leverage and bat speed to project for at least plus raw power. His aggressive approach and long levers means he will have to keep his swing-and-miss in check, but he has a fluid lefthanded stroke. At 6-foot-5, 215 pounds, Hankins is a below-average runner who has experience in the outfield and first base. He’s a solid defender at first base, his most likely landing spot. Hankins’ offensive game stands out the most, but he shows intriguing traits on the mound as well with a fastball up to 91 mph, feel for a changeup and slider.
