Scouting Report

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

Hailing from the same Notre Dame High School program in Southern California that produced Hunter Greene and Giancarlo Stanton, Gurevitch stayed in the Golden State to attend the University of San Diego. He’s been a presence in the Toreros' lineup for three years, showing improvement each season to the point where he’s been one of the better college performers on the west coast as the 2025 season continues, really catching fire when the West Coast Conference schedule got going.

Gurevitch has the chance to be a very good hitter at the next level. He has a handsy swing from the left side of the plate that is capable of making extremely loud contact, and he’s registering very high exit velocities this spring. He absolutely crushes fastballs, but he has a tendency to be a bit over-aggressive and chase pitches -- especially breaking stuff -- out of the zone, though some evaluators think that can be toned down. It’s mostly hard line drives to all fields, but there’s some belief there’s more power to come given how hard his contact has been.

Strong and compact, Gurevitch has played some third base this year, but most feel like he’s destined to be a first baseman. He gets very high marks for his toughness, leadership and overall makeup, which might give teams more confidence he’ll maximize his tools.

He was a presence in the Toreros' lineup for three years, showing improvement each season to the point where he was one of the better college performers on the west coast in 2025, really catching fire when the West Coast Conference schedule got going. The Cardinals took him in the second round and signed him for slot at $879,000.

Strong and compact, Gurevitch has played some third base this year, but most feel like he’s destined to be a first baseman. He could also see time in the outfield just to test out the grass. He got very high marks for his toughness, leadership and overall makeup as part of the Draft process, and the Cardinals should be excited to see that come into play on the pro side.
