Perfect Game scouting report: Body - strong, broad frame and a physical presence, strong lower half. Offense - plus plus bat speed, aggressive, fires hands, swing is alive, quick to ball, quick trigger, easy and explosive power, good trajectory off bat, handles velocity easily, premium hitting prospect. Defense - has feel for the game, strong arm, makes plays, can play on move, tools and reactions fit well at 3B, aggressive to ball, prototype at the position.
Aflac All-American baseball profile: “oone of the top hitting prospects in the class of 2007 due to his compact swing, strong arm and lean, strong body. He has a simple approach at the plate, outstanding bat speed, impressive power and all the tools that suggest improvement as he matures.”
Vitters is the third of the top prep bats to commit to Arizona State (along with Burgess and Jackson). He is a certain first rounder and could be selected anywhere from the top of the draft through #30. Given the presence of Ryan Zimmerman, Vitters might not be the choice at #6, but the talent is there if the Nationals wanted to make the selection.
