BJ Upton

Bio

School: Greenbriar Christian Academy, VA
Drafted: 2nd overall pick of the 2002 draft by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Scouting Report: A true five-tool talent, he has growing power, great speed, a lightning-quick bat, great range and a cannon for an arm in center field. Most of his defensive flaws have been alleviated with a move to the outfield. At the plate, he strikes out a ton and needs to make more consistent contact.
