A 6-foot, 185-pound outfielder, Vu had one of the more impressive breakout seasons of any hitter in the country. The rising junior posted a gaudy .413/.497/.793 slash line and packed 11 doubles, 14 home runs, 56 RBIs and 12 stolen bases into just 47 games. Vu has a bit of an unorthodox setup, but it triggers a move that allows him to get into his lower half. He has above-average bat speed and power, but his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side. The key for Vu going forward will be to add some polish to his hit tool. His instincts and speed translate well to centerfield, where he has plenty of range in all directions and an average arm. Vu will get every chance to stick there professionally, and his intriguing toolset could lead to an eventually top-three round selection.
