All five of Troy’s tools received average or above-average grades from MLB Pipeline, although the right-handed hitter’s ability to make strong contact at the plate stands out. With excellent pitch recognition, a low strikeout rate and a good deal of power, Troy profiles as a strong hitter. He’s also an above-average runner. Troy moved to third base for Stanford this season and could wind up at second base or potentially in center field.
