Scouting report
There's no change to Muzziotti's report, though he needs to start punishing the ball soon; otherwise, we're looking at another contact-only center field type à la Carlos Tocci: This is the most talented set of hitting hands in this system. Some of Muzziotti's cuts have an immaculate, electric beauty; others gasp to make contact with a pitch he should not have swung at. He can rip his hands through and get the barrel on pitches inside, and he can spoil tough pitches on the edge of the zone. There's rare bat-to-ball feel here, which enables a swing-happy approach that could use refining. Muzziotti's exit velo data is not great, he lacks much frame-based projection, and he's been hurt a bit. But he has a special knack for finding the barrel and it's what I care most about.
