Scouting Report:
Stephen Piscotty is one of the better pure hitters eligible for the 2012 draft. He has topped .300 in both of his seasons at Stanford and captured the batting crown at the Cape in 2011.
Piscotty brings a good approach to the plate. He has a smooth swing and good bat speed. Power is where, to this point, Piscotty has fallen short as a batting prospect.
Defense is an area where Piscotty still needs improvement. There were some encouraging reports on his defense from the Cape League. He has plenty of arm to play third at the next level.
Piscotty should be able to hit at the next level. The question is whether he will hit with enough power to be an every day player at a corner infield spot, particularly if his defense does not play at third.
