    Filiere opened eyes with a promising summer in the Cape Cod League in 2016. His best attribute is his above-average to plus raw power. Scouts questioned his pure hitting ability, noting his deficiencies in plate coverage and recognizing secondary pitches. Filiere does not have an obvious defensive position for the professional level; he has a 45 arm on the 20-to-80 scale and has 45 speed. Many scouts in the northeast did not turn Filiere in, but noted that he could be selected late on the second day of the draft.
