View Draft Report
A lean, 6-foot-2, 182-pound outfielder, Dickerson stands out for his natural hitting ability and solid tools across the board. Nothing jumps out at you immediately, but Dickerson is the sort of player who grows on you the more you watch him perform. He has solid bat speed and a handsy swing, with impressive ability to use the opposite field. Those attributes lead scouts to think he can be an average or slightly better pure hitter who should grow into average raw power as well. While Dickerson has posted plus run times, he is more of a solid-average runner who could become more of a fringe-average runner in the future. Because of that he’s got a decent chance to move from center field to a corner outfield position in the long run, though in the immediate future he should do enough to play up the middle. Dickerson comes from the same Trinity High program that produced Nationals 2021 second-rounder Daylen Lile, and the two players have similar profiles as hit-first, outfield types with average tools—though Dickerson has a bit more physical projection and perhaps less hitting ability currently. Like Lile, Dickerson is committed to Louisville.
