Oliver
Price

This was my first time getting eyes on Price, and I came away interested in the future potential for the wiry-built LH hitter from the Coyotes program. Mainly locked in on his at-bats for the day, Price showed a smooth swing with the ability to sequence his turn and hand path effectively to give him adjustability, plate coverage, and bat-to-ball feel. Price uses his lower half to go down and get lower pitches with a direct hand/barrel path that is geared for contact. He stung a trio of balls through the middle while still getting solid contact on a chopper through the middle when he was out front on a low and away CHG from the Vikings righthander. I got some hitterish vibes from Price, and with a frame that has plenty of room to add strength in the coming years, he may grow into more impact in the future. His actions are sound at 1B with some athleticism to be a solid defender at the spot or enough in the tank to play a corner OF spot. Plus, in discussions with people at the game, he adds a solid pitching profile working into the mid-80’s with his FB and has some upside there. Price will be a name I will keep tabs on in the coming future and want to get eyes on again.
