Scouting Report

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run: 40 | Arm: 60 | Field: 45 | Overall: 40

The Canadian province of Alberta has produced just four big leaguers, a quartet of right-handed pitchers led by Michael Soroka. A year ago, Nathan Flewelling represented the western region as a big, strong left-handed high school hitter whom the Rays selected in the third round. Piasentin fit a similar profile as a young hitter who was rising up Draft boards after showing off his tools in a swing through Arizona during Spring Training. Perhaps appropriately, Toronto swooped in for him in the fifth round in July and signed him for above slot at $747,500.

At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Piasentin is a presence in the box from the left side of the plate. His standout tool is his raw power, and he can get to it. He had very impressive batting practice sessions with a wood bat in Arizona, showed he could catch up to premium velocity with a base hit to his pull side against a Royals' Minor League reliever with upper-90s gas and turned around junior college competition during that Arizona trip. Not everyone is a believer in the hit tool as there is some swing-and-miss, with some scouts thinking it could take a while for him to be ready to produce good numbers as a pro.

While Piasentin has a plus arm that works well from third base, it's unclear whether he'll be able to stay there. He's a bit of a plodder with limited range, so a move to first base might be in order, while some wouldn't mind seeing that arm in right field. The pop will be the calling card as he works with the Jays to find a permanent defensive home.

He's committed to Miami should the Draft not work out, with some scouts thinking he could emerge as an early-round pick after a few years of college reps.
