9.9.17 - Watson is listed at 5-foot-9, 225-pounds, room to add more muscle to frame. Left-handed bat that showed bat speed and some juice to his pull side during BP. The swing is loose and creates good rhythm in hands pre-pitch. Can create more angle with barrel to get more balls in the air and some lift in swing, but when he was extended and flat through the zone the ball would jump and had best exit velo of 88 mph. Defensively, suited for corner spot in the infield, hands and feet had fundamentals and actions, will need to increase arm strength to stay on left side. Overall best tool at the moment is the bat with his feel and looseness, has a chance to evolve into some real power over time.
