Scouting the 2017 Draft: Jordan Adell

Jordan Adell, OF, HS(Louisville, KY).  B-R, T-R.  6'3" 205 lbs.

"Who is Jordan Adell?" might someday be a Jeopardy question.  The Answer is, "what could Bo Jackson have been had he played only baseball?"  Jordan Adell is an athlete with 5 big tools!  The PG numbers tell the story:

Running:  6.2 60.
Throwing:  96 MPH off the mound, 97 MPH from the OF.
Catching:  Yeah, he can catch.
Hit:  Key number is time to impact= .106 sec.  Range- .100-.121.
Power:  Exit Velocity= 99 MPH.  Has hit a ball 450 ft with a wood bat.

The only criticism I can see is there might not be much projection left in the body, but my goodness!  How much body do you need?  It does not look like a body that is going to age badly.  I'm going to put him in front of Hunter Greene on my draft board because I think Greene is going to be drafted as a pitcher while Adell will be on OF, and a CF at that.

I moved Uselton ahead of Lewis because of the Time to Impact metric which I have a feeling is strongly correlated with the hit tool.  Uselton's was a fantastic .101 sec. or 99+ percentile while Lewis was a relatively slow .120 sec.
