Saucke entered last summer with a lot of attention for his size (6-foot-3, 190 pounds), bat speed and raw power. The ball jumps off his bat well in batting practice, and with his long, lean frame, he has the physical projection for more power to come. Saucke's swing gets long, though, and he struggles with pitch recognition, leading to a heavy dose of swing and miss, and he struggled on the showcase circuit last summer. Saucke has played shortstop, and while he moves well for his size with average speed underway, he doesn't have the quickness for the position and will likely slow down. He has a strong arm that will fit well at third base, though he could also end up in an outfield corner. Several scouts consider Saucke a strong Virginia commit who likely gets to campus.
