| Summary: Curry stands out for his loose, left-handed stroke and natural feel to hit. He stays calm in the box, working deep into counts with a patient approach that allows the barrel to find the ball consistently. It is currently gap power but there is plenty of home run upside in the swing, driven by leverage and easy bat speed rather than max effort. He shows an understanding of the zone and has begun to turn contact quality into consistent game power. A solid athlete and average runner, Curry fits best defensively in left field or at first base. He’s also shown intrigue on the mound with low-90s velocity, though the bat leads the profile. As the power continues to mature, his combination of polish, discipline, and offensive projection makes him one of the more intriguing two-way talents on the West Coast. He is committed to Tennessee and, given the aspect of his game that could stand to benefit the most is raw strength, it is almost certain signing him out of high school would be less costly than letting him get to campus. | |||||||||||
