Steven Brooks Scouting Report

Got a chance to catch Steven Brooks play at Boston College this past weekend. Brooks is a premium athlete with good speed and a solid line drive hitter. Reminds me a bit of an Alex Hassan type player whom the Sox drafted last year.

Steven Brooks is listed at 6'0 197 and plays center field for Wake Forest. Brooks was a high school teammate of Rick Porcello and has really taken off this season.

Brooks has a sprinters build with a strong, thick lower body. His speed is well above average and possibly plus. He shows good jumps when stealing bases. Brooks has line-drive gap power but has the potential to hit 15 homers.

He has good range in center but his arm is average. A good athlete his instincts may allow him to develop into a solid defender.
