HITTERS

Korbyn Dickerson, OF, Trinity HS, KY (Louisville)
Dickerson has a strong, live and athletic frame and is a plus runner with good defensive skills. He gets good jumps and takes good routes to the ball with closing speed. His throws are accurate and have carry. He has a very good approach at the plate with the ability to track pitches and square them up consistently. The ball jumps off his bat and he has the ability to drive it to all fields. He possesses good raw power with the ability to hit home runs. He’s a good all-around player who can play all three outfield spots and produce offensively.
