Bleday is a 6’3”, 205 lbs Left handed hitting and throwing Outfielder at Vanderbilt University. I think I have yet to have a draft year where I didn’t preview at least one prospect from Vandy. They recruit well and typically at least a few of their recruits get to campus (though it has to be frustrating to lose so much of your hard work to the first couple rounds of the draft before they ever get to campus). Bleday’s an intriguing prospect with some tweener worries to overcome this year to move up draft boards. He doesn’t have the speed for Center and he’s only shown flashes of the power teams want in Right.
