Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

Mitchell's frame, Midwest roots and basketball background earn him comparisons with Matt Kemp. He averaged 24.4 points per game as a senior and had to start the baseball season as a DH due to a broken hand. The Cubs signed him for an above-slot $200,000 bonus. Lean and athletic, Mitchell not only impresses with his raw ability but with his surprising hitting aptitude. He's shown no fear of hitting with two strikes, identifies spin and has the ability to use the whole field. Mitchell is an above-average runner who should be able to handle center field in the minors if not longer as a long-strider. He has average arm strength as well, and projecting his power and his future impact is where it gets tricky, as his flat swing path currently precludes loft power. Mitchell likely will be tested at low Class A South Bend in 2015.
