Scouting Report

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

After spending two seasons at Santa Rosa Junior College, Sundstrom took his tools to Santa Barbara and proceeded to earn All-Big West First Team honors with an OPS over 1.000, 15 homers and 11 steals. A 10th-round selection of the Mariners in the 2023 Draft, Sundstrom had a strong first season with High-A Everett with 13 homers and 26 steals before capping things off in the Arizona Fall League.

Sundstrom brings strength and physicality to a system that doesn’t have a lot of that. His power from the right side is real, with good leverage and the ability to hit the ball in the air. His swing is a little stiff and grooved, so while he has a decent approach and a willingness to draw walks, he’s likely always going to be a power-over-hit type of bat that could struggle with right-handed breaking stuff as he moves to the upper levels.

A solid runner, Sundstrom largely played center field for Santa Barbara and he could probably handle playing up the middle in a pinch. But he’s much better suited for an outfield corner, and it’s possible he could tap into his power enough to profile there regularly. It’s most likely that he mashes enough to reach the big leagues by playing all three outfield spots and providing right-handed pop off the bench.

Sundstrom started his college career at Santa Rosa Junior College. After hitting well in his second season there, he was able to transfer to UC Santa Barbara for his third year. He turned in an all-Big West First Team selection performance with an OPS over 1.000 that scouts noticed. The Mariners nabbed him in the tenth round of the 2023 Draft and turned in a very solid first full season with High-A Everett.

A big, physical and athletic outfielder, Sundstrom is a 6-foot-3 presence on the field. He’s a right-handed hitter with above-average raw power he’s still learning to tap into consistently. He does have feel to barrel up the ball and has shown he can lift the ball to his pull side, though there’s a question if he’ll hit enough as he advances to get to average in-game power. He’s an average runner who has shown he can steal a base, reaching double digits in home runs and steals in his first full season.

After playing center field almost exclusively at Santa Barbara, Sundstrom has seen time at all three outfield spots in the Mariners organization. He’s seen more time in the corners, where he has enough arm strength to profile, though he may not have the offensive chops to play there every day. The most likely outcome is for him to be a productive fourth or fifth outfielder.
