Justin O'Connor

Bio

School: Cowan High School, IN
Drafted: 31st overall pick in 2010 by the Tampa Bay Rays
Scouting Report: O'Connor is a strong and broad shouldered 6-1, 190 lb shortstop/right handed pitcher from Indiana and one of the top two-way talents in the 2010 class. O'Connor's arm strength from shortstop is unparalleled among high school prospects and will invoke Dunston/Caminiti comparisons at the pro level. He has plenty of mobility and athleticism for the middle of field and his actions are smooth and quick. O'Connor won the Rawlings Home Run Derby at the Perfect Game National Showcase and has big loft power to all fields along with excellent raw bat speed. Not surprisingly, O'Conn0r also as a plus velocity fastball on the mound that tops out at 95-96 mph, although he is clearly a better shortstop prospect at present. He is an early draft pick candidate.
