Scouting Report

Draft

Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 50 | Field: 45 | Overall: 50

The son of former NASCAR driver Lyndon Amick, Billy barely played as a freshman or in the first month of his sophomore season at Clemson. After the Tigers inserted him in their lineup last March, he batted .413/.464/.772 and then continued to rake in a brief stint in the Cape Cod League. Unhappy with being limited to DH and first base by the Tigers, he sought an opportunity to play third base and transferred to Tennessee, where he became one of the most dangerous hitters in the Southeastern Conference and helped the Volunteers win their first College World Series championship.

Amick has a quality right-handed swing and repeatedly barrels balls despite frequently chasing pitches out of the strike zone. His aggressive approach yields hard contact to all fields but does cut into his walk totals. His bat speed and strength create plus raw power that plays all over the ballpark and should translate into 20-25 homers per season.

Amick has gotten the chance to man the hot corner for the Volunteers and looks like he'll be able to stay there in pro ball. Equipped with below-average speed and quickness along with average arm strength, he's a fringy to average third baseman who has looked more comfortable as he has gained more experience. He does have the work ethic to continue to improve but also may wind up at first base.
