Scouting report
I really want to like Devers because he's my kind of player: a speedy, contact-oriented up-the-middle guy. But I find myself skeptical because he's just so slight of build and has concerningly-low exit velos. Both his average exits and rate of balls in play at or above 95mph (4%) are 20s on the scouting scale; the low-end of big league hard hit rates are around 12% (David Fletcher, Nick Madrigal, guys like that). He's especially adept at slicing contact to the opposite field much like Luis Arraez -- who himself was an underrated prospect with a skillset like this -- but even he hits the ball much harder than Devers. The feel for contact here isn't so elite, as I considered it to be with Madrigal, that I'm willing to set the rest aside and still bet on Devers becoming an everyday kind of player. Because he can really run and play both middle infield spots well, I do think he'll end up carving out a bench role of sorts. (Alternate site)
