2021 MLB DraftOne of the top second base prospects in the draft class, Black has a sound approach at the plate complete with strike zone awareness and a penchant for barreling the baseball. An Ontario native, he was a standout hockey player in high school and the athleticism is evident on the baseball field. He shows good first-step quickness on the dirt and average range up the middle. An instinctual base runner, swiped 11 bases on the year and finished with more walks (39) than strikeouts (25).

One of the top second base prospects in the draft class, Black has a sound approach at the plate complete with strike zone awareness and a penchant for barreling the baseball. An Ontario native, he was a standout hockey player in high school and the athleticism is evident on the baseball field. In a four-set against Horizon League foe Youngstown State last weekend, the draft eligible sophomore went 9-for-16 with four home runs and eight RBIs. Additionally, he showed good first step quickness on the dirt and average range up the middle. An instinctual base runner, he’s swiped five bags in six tries this year. Black is slashing .422/.534/.800 with more walks (11) than strikeouts (9) on the young season, numbers that are remark

Black is now a 6-foot-1, 190-pound prospect as the left-hander shows bat speed and gap power at the plate with lots of hard contact. Smooth actions defensively with a quick arm and arm strength. Profiles more as a second or third baseman at next level. Runs well and plays with energy. One of the top left-handed bats in the 18 class.

Black is an athletic, 6-foot, 175-pound prospect that currently is a two-way player. Although he didn't throw at the TPG's, have seen him work in the low, to mid 80's off the mound with feel for curveball. Defensively, moves well from shortstop, arm plays well from left side of the diamond, made some highlight reel plays while showing off his range to both sides. At the plate, lots of moving parts but seems to find the barrel. Ran a 7.26 in the 60-yard dash but have had him at a 6.90 at other events. 2017 prospect who plays the game the right way and has tools on both sides of the ball.
60-Yard Dash: 6.90
Exit Velocity: 83
INF Velocity: 86
