Scouting report
Lavigne still has a sound approach, a big, strong frame, and a good-looking uppercut swing, but his bat path is grooved and the scouts who saw him at instructs have concerns about how much contact he's capable of making. His swing enables him to turn on fastballs left up and in, which is atypical for a hitter this size, but he struggles to connect with stuff up and away from him and that's where a lot of fastballs live nowadays. His age, approach, present power, and frame have me holding over his FV from last year but this is a prospect whose 2021 on-paper performance feels pretty important. We still don't have a big leaguer born in New Hampshire. (Fall Instructional League)
