  Belyeu is a free-swinging lefthanded hitter who impressed Texas scouts last fall with his feel for hitting. He’s stood out against more advanced competition and this spring there was a decent amount of scouting hype on him at his Aledo, Texas high school. A 6-foot-2, 195-pound outfielder, Belyeu has mostly fringe-average tools across the board and a profile that will be driven by his pure hitting ability and future power potential. Belyeu has a simple and smooth lefthanded stroke with slight lift and solid pop presently, with a frame that should be able to add more strength and potentially get to average power production in the future. He has a quiet lower half at the plate and starts his swing with a small leg kick, and shows good rhythm in the box. Belyeu looks like a future fringe-average runner who would likely fit best in a corner, with solid arm strength, at the next level. Because of that, some teams could prefer to see him prove it in college like other bat-first prep corner profiles, though there’s enough attention to think a team could try and buy him out of a Texas commitment this July.
