This article appeared today on a Los Angeles Dodgers website. I thought some of you might enjoy reading it.

I'd like to introduce a new series that I will be running throughout the Spring that will feature a combination of in-person observations and video analysis of top prospects in the 2015 Draft. This past weekend, I traveled down to Baton Rouge to take in opening weekend for Louisiana State Baseball. Perennially a college baseball powerhouse, this season looks no different, as LSU flashed overwhelming team speed and defense, as well as some intriguing arms for both the 2015 and 2017 drafts.
Below are the most notable names from the weekend:
Alex Bregman, SS (junior)
The most famous name on LSU, if not all of college baseball, Bregman answered one of the bigger questions on him entering the 2015 draft. For me, Bregman can unquestionably handle shortstop at the major league level, where most reports expect him to move across the diamond. Listed at 6’0, 186 pounds, Bregman appears smaller than advertised, but he has a strong arm and shows adequate range thanks to his first step quickness and anticipation.
Offensively, I’m not as high on Bregman as most. He features a compact, short swing and generates decent bat speed, and he made a lot of quality contact over the weekend. However, he’s rarely flashed the power he showed as a freshman, and that one season may have inflated his actual offensive profile. Bregman has decent stolen base totals in college, but the I clocked him around 4.3 home to first, and his speed should be no more than average for the position.

Very good read. I was curious on how the draft would look for us. This certainly puts it into perspective.

Good article, but premature on bregs. I think he has above average power potential.

I've always heard Bregman is projected as a 2nd baseman at the next level
