Scouting report

Westburg was one of several quintessential, up-the-middle college performers slated to go toward the back of the 2020 draft's first round. He's a physical middle infielder with the feet and actions to stay there, and a short, compact swing that is geared for contact at the top of the zone, while Westburg's physicality brings the power. He may need a swing tweak so his barrel better mirrors the flight path of the baseball (if not, we might be looking at more raw power than in-game output), but he has the hand-eye/power combo to profile as an everyday middle infielder, more cleanly at second base because of his modest arm strength.
