Scouting Report:
David Dahl has above average tools across the board and can play the game. Even after missing time during the summer due to illness, Dahl remains highly ranked by every scouting service.
Dahl is advanced offensively, with a balanced level swing and quick hands. He has good bat speed and makes consistent contact. A line drive hitter, Dahl should add more home runs as he matures. He is aggressive on the bases, and, with his 6.5 spped, always a threat to steal.
Dahl is one of the top defensive outfielders eligible for the 2012 draft. He complements his speed with a legitimate plus arm.
When draft day arrives, Dahl is likely to be one of the first 20 names off the board.

Quotes:
Scout- He’s a good makeup kid. He loves the game, he plays the game hard (and) he works very hard at it. That in and of itself will help him succeed whether he goes to college or ends up signing a pro contract.”
Oak Mountain Coach Brian Breeze- “David is a battler and a competitor.”
