Tyler Head

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #97 prospect in 2026 draft
  School: NC State Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.1
  
  Head ranked as a top 150 prospect coming out of high school thanks to impressive athleticism, loud physical tools and a 6-foot-3 body to dream on. He made it to campus at NC State, hit .274/.433/.402 with more walks than strikeouts as a freshman in 2025, then drew raves from scouts and coaches in the fall. Now listed at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Head has a noisy swing that can get choppy and in and out of the zone too quickly at times, but he does have a feel for the barrel and makes plenty of contact. He has a sound approach at the plate, and his frame suggests more power upside in the future, even if his freshman exit velocity data was underwhelming. He’s a plus runner who should have the range and instincts to stick in center field, which will put less pressure on his power development.
• Ranked #141 prospect in 2024 draft
  School: Windermere (Fla.) HS Commit/Drafted: NC State
  Age At Draft: 19.2
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  Tools: Hit: 45. Power: 45. Run: 60. Field: 55. Arm: 50.
  
  Head is a projectable, 6-foot-3, 190-pound outfielder with a body and physical tools to dream on. He’s a multi-sport athlete who has also played football and basketball in high school. On the baseball field, he provides plus speed and solid power potential. Head’s swing comes with some moving parts in his load and setup and his bat path can get a bit lengthy and steep at times, but it’s easy to see him growing into more power as he fills out his frame. He was one of the most heavily scouted prep hitters in Florida this spring and some scouts are quite high on his approach and offensive potential with more development. He has solid instincts in center field that could allow him to stick at the position even as he adds strength and mass. Because of his taller frame and tweener profile, Head draws some comparisons to current NC State outfielder and 2024 prospect Eli Serrano III. Head is also committed to NC State and if he reaches campus he’ll be a draft-eligible sophomore in 2026

Head’s swing comes with some moving parts in his load and setup and the swing itself gets lengthy and too steep at times but it’s easy to see him growing into a power/speed outfielder who can play all three outfield positions and might stick in center field. Head is old for the class and will be 19 on draft day which also will make him a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus at NC State.
