Reggie Pruitt fits the blueprint of an Alex Anthopoulos outfielder perfectly.
Now 19, Pruitt is an exceptional athlete with true plus speed and the ability to stick in centre-field long term. This puts him in the same lane as Anthony Alford, Dalton Pompey, Anthony Gose, Roemon Fields, D.J. Davis, and others.
Pruitt’s make-or-break tool, not surprisingly, is his bat. Because of this, the gap between his potential ceiling and potential floor may be as wide as any prospect in the Blue Jays’ organization.
To the prospect optimist who dares to dream, there’s plenty to like.
