| Summary: Lascelles’ offensive game is built around feel, adjustability, and consistent contact quality. He works with a compact, efficient swing and simple triggers, staying on plane and spraying line drives to all fields while keeping the barrel in the zone. The approach plays with a pest-like edge, leveraging plus speed and aggressive baserunning to pressure defenses. Power isn’t the calling card, but added strength has started to show through the pull-side gap, with room for modest growth as the frame continues to mature. On the defensive side, the athleticism and actions give him a real look at shortstop. Rangy footwork, smooth exchanges, and confident internal timing allow the glove to play, though arm strength remains the swing factor — solid but not a clear plus, which could ultimately push him to second base if it doesn’t tick up. The overall profile leans on instincts, athleticism, and a high-contact offensive foundation, making him a legitimate under-the-radar helium candidate as evaluators weigh continued physical gains and signability is a question given his commitment to Yale. | |||||||||||
