Vytas Valincius

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #485 prospect in 2021 draft
  Valincius is a massive corner infielder with big-time raw power out of a 6-foot-4, 240-pound frame. The South Carolina commit is a power-over-hit bat at the moment, but he does have some track record of showing good timing at the plate and performing against quality competition. This spring scouts thought he did a good job of getting his body into shape and shedding some weight, and evaluators have noted that he has impressive body control and mobility for his size, with an above-average or plus arm that could allow him to stick at third base. His most realistic future home is still first base because of his size and below-average running ability that could limit his range when the game gets faster at the next level. Valincius is a tough profile out of high school who might have to prove his hitting ability and in-game power in the SEC.
