+ Ratcliff immediately announced his presence by burning a 6.47 60-yard dash, one of the top run times we have recorded in the entire class. The ultra-twitchy, 5-foot-9, 160 pounder then showed off his switch-hitting abilities with a short swing from both sides, though he showed more impact from the right-handed side (96 mph EV) than the left (90 mph EV). Defensively, Ratcliff boasts very solid arm strength (88 mph across) to pair with quick-footed actions. His future likely ends up at 2B or in CF, however his foot speed is elite and will translate to the college level.
