| Summary: An advanced left-handed bat with a polished offensive look, Hawpe, son of long time MLB outfielder Brad Hawpe, shows a mature approach built around consistent barrel accuracy and the ability to handle velocity. The swing is efficient and repeatable, producing hard contact to all fields, and recent strength gains are beginning to show up in game power. Exit velocities already climb into impact territory, and the bat speed plays comfortably against high-end arms, giving the offensive profile real middle-of-the-order potential as the physicality continues to come. Defensively, the value fits best in a corner, where the arm stands out as a clear asset in right field. He moves well enough underway but is not reliant on speed to impact the game, with the bat carrying the projection. The overall skill set points to a high-probability offensive profile, with the combination of contact quality, emerging pop, and a strong throwing arm giving him a chance to profile as a run-producing corner outfielder at the next level. | |||||||||||
