| Summary: While the load can get busy, the pure bat-to-ball skills for Tronstein are some of the best in the 2026 class. He sees the ball really well and can really clear his hips allowing him to do damage on balls on the inner third. Out over the middle and outer part he is more hit over power, but there is plenty of projection for more pop in time. Athletically, he is a plus runner and it translates to all parts of his game. He can play short and be serviceable there, although he has a chance to be an impact defender in center. In the outfield, he has polished routes and reads and the speed really plays. | |||||||||||
