The Naylor household has produced plenty of baseball talent, with both Josh and Bo being selected in the first round out of high school in 2015 and 2018, respectively. Myles is the youngest brother of the trio, and perhaps unsurprisingly brings an impressive bat to the table. Josh had some of the most impressive power in the 2015 draft class, while Bo was viewed as one of the best pure hitters in 2018. Myles seems to fall right in the middle of the two, with both impressive bat speed and raw power, with solid hitting chops to go with it. He showed impressive gap power at the 2022 Area Code Games and has the strength to drive extra-base hits even without flush contact, but could improve his pitch recognition. At times he’ll get out in front and pull off on breaking stuff specifically. Naylor is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound infielder who has a chance to stick at third base, but ultimately could wind up as a corner outfielder. He’s a below-average runner but appears to have the offensive chops to profile nicely even at the bottom of the defensive spectrum. Naylor is committed to Texas Tech and like most Canadian prospects is on the younger side for the class, not turning 18 until April 2023.
