School: Virginia
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21
BA Grade: 45/High
Tools: Hit: 45. Power: 50. Run: 40. Field: 45. Arm: 60.

Saucke was a solid high school prospect back in 2021 thanks to a projectable frame and a loud combination of bat speed and raw power. He made it to campus at Virginia where he led the team in doubles as a freshman in 2022 and has been a consistent offensive presence in the middle of a consistently strong offensive lineup for three years. His 2024 junior season was his best yet, as the 6-foot-3, 210-pound outfielder and righthanded hitter slashed .344/.407/.578 with a career-high 14 homers. Saucke doesn’t have the most picturesque swing with a crouched setup, high handset and a medium leg kick but he can drive the ball with authority to both gaps and has above-average raw power. Saucke has been a bit strikeout prone at times in his career, but he made strides to cut the 28.6% mark he posted as a freshman into a more manageable 17-18% range in 2023 and 2024. An infielder in high school, Saucke has mostly played right field with Virginia and profiles as a corner outfielder in pro ball thanks to fringe-average speed and stiffer movements in the outfield grass that would likely be stretched in center. He does have a plus arm that would fit nicely in right.
