Scouting Report:

Stony Brook outfielder Travis Jankowski placed himself firmly on the radar with a stellar 2011 Cape League Season.  He led the league in hits, runs, and triples and finished 2nd in steals on his way to being named League MVP. 

Jankowski is good with the bat and should continue to get on base at a high rate when he moves to the next level.  Power is not a big part of his game.  Some project him to add power in the future, but I wouldn’t be looking for him to hit many out of the park.  Speed is one of Jankowski’s best assets and he has been recorded in the 60 at 6.4 according to Baseball America.

Jankowski is a plus defender in centerfield.  He gets good jumps on balls and covers plenty of ground.  Jankowski also has a good arm.

Jankowski may be one of the safer choices among college outfielders who are eligible for the 2012 draft.  In addition to his good baseball skills, he is an extremely coachable player.
