Derek continues to trend in the right direction as an athletic outfielder with impact tools beginning to emerge. The left handed hitter showed present strength at contact, producing a 97 mph max exit velocity and carrying balls up to 385 feet during batting practice. There is clear intent in the swing with the ability to impact the baseball when he gets extended out front. Defensively, Derek showcased one of the stronger outfield arms in attendance at 94 mph while displaying accurate throws and repeatable actions throughout the workout. The combination of offensive strength and arm talent gives him a profile that should continue to attract attention moving forward.
