Bryson Brigman

A Bay Area native who gravitated to hockey in middle school, Brigman gave up pucks for baseball in high school and has developed into one of college baseball's better middle infielders. An eligible sophomore, Brigman played on USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team last summer and shifted from second base to shortstop this year after teaming with 2015 Yankees first-rounder Kyle Holder on double plays last year. Brigman lacks Holder's defensive chops, and his fringy arm is better suited for second as a pro. He has a contact-oriented approach with a sound, repeatable swing, and he has put his above-average speed into play more on the bases this season. Brigman played some left field last summer for Team USA and some scouts envision him in a future utility role if his below-average power leaves him short of being an everyday second baseman.
