Scouting Report

Video scouting report »

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

Foscue went from light-hitting third baseman as a freshman to consensus All-America second baseman as a sophomore, helping Mississippi State reach the College World Series in both 2018 and 2019. He and Jordan Westburg form the best double-play combination in college baseball, with scouts fairly split about who is the better prospect. Foscue has a higher floor while Westburg has the high ceiling, and both project to go in the top two rounds of the 2020 Draft.

The U.S. collegiate national team's starter at second base last summer, Foscue plays a game that is somewhat reminiscent of Jeff Kent's. He provides more offense than most at his position, using strength, bat speed and a pull-heavy approach to generate plenty of power from the right side of the plate. Though he has an aggressive mentality, he has no difficulties making regular contact and projects as a 20-homer threat without excessive strikeouts.

Foscue records below-average run times out of the batter's box but shows closer to average speed once he gets going. His arm and range are ordinary at second base, though he has good hands and instincts and turns the double-play pivot well. He might be able to handle third base at the next level but shortstop would be a stretch, limiting his potential utility value.

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 35 | Arm: 40 | Field: 40 | Overall: 50 

After helping Mississippi State reach the College World Series in his two full seasons in Starkville, Foscue went 14th overall to Texas in the pandemic-shortened 2020 Draft. Signed for an under-slot $3.25 million, he homered in eight straight games during his 2021 pro debut and has performed well in the upper levels of the Minors the past two seasons. He ranked third in the Triple-A Pacific Coast League in walks (85) and fourth in doubles (31) while expanding his defensive horizons last summer. 

Foscue is a polished right-handed hitter who knows himself and doesn't try to do too much at the plate. He doesn't chase pitches and focuses on using the entire field rather than trying to launch balls out of the park. Even with his disciplined approach, he has enough bat speed and strength to provide 20 homers per season, with most of his over-the-fence power going to his pull side. 

Foscue has reliable hands and good instincts, but his defensive effectiveness is limited by well-below-average speed and substandard range and arm strength. Mostly a second baseman in his first two pro seasons, he saw increased action at third base (where his arm is too light and the game is too fast for him) and tried first base in 2023. Given that the Rangers have All-Stars at every other infield spot, his only real chances for big league playing time with them are at first and DH. 

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

Foscue helped lead Mississippi State to the College World Series in each of his two full seasons before becoming the third-highest Bulldogs position player ever drafted in his third. He went 14th overall in 2020, trailing only Will Clark (No. 2, 1985) and Hunter Renfroe (No. 13, 2013) in school history, and signed for an under-slot $3.25 million. He homered in eight straight games during his injury-shortened 2021 pro debut before batting .288/.367/.483 in Double-A last year. 

An offensive-minded second baseman, Foscue did a better job of letting his bat speed and strength translate into power rather than chasing home runs in 2022. The right-handed hitter showed more discipline, made more contact and used the opposite field more often than he did while struggling in Double-A at the end of his debut. He misses few fastballs, hangs in well against breaking balls and changeups and destroys left-handers while holding his own against right-handers. 

More muscular than most middle infielders, Foscue is a below-average runner who's a little quicker once underway. He does have reliable hands and turns the double play well at second base, though his fringy arm and range limit his effectiveness there. He played third base as a Mississippi State freshman and briefly in 2022 but lacks the arm for the hot corner, and he could wind up in left field given the Rangers' overcrowded infield.

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

After helping Mississippi State reach the College World Series in each of his two full seasons, Foscue became the third-highest Bulldogs position player ever drafted behind Will Clark (No. 2, 1985) and Hunter Renfroe (No. 13, 2013). Signed for an under-slot $3.25 million as the 14th overall choice in 2020, he sustained a left ribcage injury three weeks into his pro debut last May and didn't return until early July. Once healthy, he homered in eight consecutive games and finished with 17 blasts in 62 games while reaching Double-A. 

Foscue is an offensive-minded second baseman whose right-handed power stands out as his best tool, in the mold of Jeff Kent. He has more bat speed and strength than most middle infielders, and he makes the most of it with an approach designed to launch pitches to his pull side. He can get overly aggressive at times and likely will have to tone it down a bit to hit for average against more advanced pitching. 

Though he's a below-average runner out of the batter's box, Foscue displays close to average speed once he gets going. He has good hands and turns the double play well at second base, where he's a fringy to average defender. His so-so range and arm strength limit his usefulness on the left side of the infield, though he did play third base as a Mississippi State freshman. 

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

The Rangers used their first-round picks in 2019 and 2020 on infielders with offensive upside and a track record of production at the highest levels of college baseball. They followed Texas Tech third baseman Josh Jung with Foscue, who signed for an under-slot $3.25 million as the 14th overall pick last June. He led Mississippi State to the College World Series in each of his two full seasons and became the third-highest Bulldogs position player ever drafted, behind only Will Clark (No. 2, 1985) and Hunter Renfroe (No. 13, 2013). 

An offensive-minded player whose right-handed power is his best tool, Foscue has a profile similar to that of Jeff Kent. He has more strength and bat speed than a typical second baseman and attacks pitches with a pull-heavy approach. Though he's aggressive at the plate, he makes consistent contact and should produce 20 or more homers per season without striking out excessively. 

Foscue records below-average run times from home to first but has close to average speed underway. Though his arm and range are nothing special at second base, he has good hands and turns double plays well. He played third base as a freshman in college but would be stretched at shortstop, reducing his potential value as a utilityman.

Foscue progressed from a light-hitting freshman third baseman in 2018 to a consensus All-America second baseman in 2019 to a first-round pick in 2020. Signed for an under-slot $3.25 million as the 14th overall pick by the Rangers, he became the third-highest position player drafted out of Mississippi State, trailing only Will Clark (No. 2, 1985) and Hunter Renfroe (No. 13, 2013). Foscue led the Bulldogs to the College World Series in each of his two full seasons in Starkville.

The U.S. collegiate national team's starter at second base in 2019, Foscue has a game somewhat reminiscent of Jeff Kent's. He's an offensive-minded player whose strength, bat speed and pull-heavy approach produce plenty of power from the right side of the plate. Despite his aggressive mentality, he makes consistent contact and projects as a 20-homer threat without piling up strikeouts.

While Foscue records below-average run times out of the batter's box, he displays closer to average speed once he gets going. He has good hands and turns the double-play well, though his arm and range are ordinary at second base. He might be able to handle third base but shortstop would be a stretch, limiting his potential utility value.
