Henry Godbout

School: Virginia Drafted/Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.7

BA Grade: 45/High

A three-year starter at second base for Virginia, Godbout is one of the better contact bats in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound righthanded hitter put together a tremendous sophomore campaign in 2024 when he hit .372 with nine home runs and 18 doubles, but regressed slightly in his platform draft season in 2025. He’s a career .321/.415/.514 hitter with Virginia with nearly as many walks (69) as strikeouts (70), and he also has an extensive track record hitting for high averages in a number of summer wood bat leagues. Godbout’s profile and pro value are built around his bat-to-ball skills. He’s a pesky hitter who’s extremely difficult to strike out. He owns an 86% overall contact rate and a 91% in-zone contact rate for his career with strong hand-eye coordination and a tremendous feel for the barrel. He’s very much a contact-over-power offensive profile, with below-average raw power and only modest top-end exit velocities. Godbout’s home runs have almost exclusively come to the pull side in college, and he’s unlikely to tap into more than 15 home runs per season without a change in approach or sacrificing some contact. Godbout is a fringy runner with short, choppy strides. He’s a reliable defender at second base who should be able to make all the routine plays with enough arm strength for the position.
