School: Indiana Drafted/Committed: Twins ’22 (20)
Age At Draft: 21.7

BA Grade: 45/High

Dickerson reinvented himself in 2025, transforming from a seldom-used reserve at Louisville into a middle-of-the-order masher at Indiana. He hit .314/.381/.632 with 19 home runs, 14 doubles, three triples and five stolen bases over 56 games—career highs across the board—and earned Third-Team All-America honors. Dickerson hit .235 with no home runs and one double in 21 games prior to the 2025 season. With added strength on his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame, Dickerson tapped into plus power to all fields and posted elite batted-ball metrics, including a 93 mph average exit velocity and 110 mph 90th percentile mark. He starts from a crouched stance with a tucked front shoulder, then unleashes a quick, powerful swing with a keen feel for the barrel. Dickerson’s approach can get overaggressive—he posted a below-average chase rate (27%) and zone contact rate (82%)—and velocity occasionally gives him trouble. Dickerson has been Indiana’s everyday center fielder and has a chance to stick there with plus speed, solid athleticism and an average arm. While there’s still refinement needed, Dickerson offers power, physicality and projection, and his 2025 breakout could be a sign of more things to come for a player who ranked as a standout across the board coming out of high school in the 2022 class. He fits in the first four rounds on draft day.

Track Record: Dickerson played his high school ball in Kentucky, but grew up just across the border in Indiana. The Twins selected him in the 20th round in 2022, but he landed at Louisville for a season before transferring to Indiana for the 2025 season. During a breakout junior season with the Hoosiers, he drove in 77 runs—fourth-most in a single season in program history—and blasted 19 home runs, tied for sixth on the Hoosiers’ single-season list. Dickerson was drafted in the fifth round, signed for a slot value of $461,000 and debuted at Low-A.

Scouting Report: Dickerson jumped from zero home runs in 2024 to 19 in 2025, a breakout fueled by added strength to his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame. That spring at Indiana, he paired a 109.8 mph 90th-percentile exit velocity with a strong 25.6% barrel rate, starting from a crouched, shoulder-tucked stance before unleashing a quick, powerful swing with natural feel for the barrel. His approach can get overly aggressive, and his 27% chase rate and 82% zone-contact rate in college were both below-average. His 42.1% groundball rate limited some of his impact as well. Still, he runs well, takes efficient routes in the outfield and has room to grow physically. With improved swing decisions and loft, even more damage could be on the way.

The Future: Dickerson should start 2026 in the lower minors and needs to work on cutting down his chase rate in the pros.

A lean, 6-foot-2, 182-pound outfielder, Dickerson stands out for his natural hitting ability and solid tools across the board. Nothing jumps out at you immediately, but Dickerson is the sort of player who grows on you the more you watch him perform. He has solid bat speed and a handsy swing, with impressive ability to use the opposite field. Those attributes lead scouts to think he can be an average or slightly better pure hitter who should grow into average raw power as well. While Dickerson has posted plus run times, he is more of a solid-average runner who could become more of a fringe-average runner in the future. Because of that he’s got a decent chance to move from center field to a corner outfield position in the long run, though in the immediate future he should do enough to play up the middle. Dickerson comes from the same Trinity High program that produced Nationals 2021 second-rounder Daylen Lile, and the two players have similar profiles as hit-first, outfield types with average tools—though Dickerson has a bit more physical projection and perhaps less hitting ability currently. Like Lile, Dickerson is committed to Louisville.
