Wednesday afternoon the Washington Nationals made a rare “prospects for prospects” trade with Tampa Bay, swapping OF Steven Souza and LHP Travis Ott for RHP Joe Ross and SS Trea Turner. As has become customary after new prospects arrive in Washington, I reached out to some of the top prospect evaluators on the web to receive some exclusive scouting reports for NatsGM.

Last Friday famous baseball hitting guru Ryan Parker from Baseball Prospectus analyzed Trea Turner’s swing and offered us some insights into the adjustments he is making in pro ball. Today former guest on Episode #10 of THE NatsGM Show and one of the sharpest talent evaluators I know, Tucker Blair, also shares his thoughts on new Nationals’ prospect Trea Turner.

“I saw Turner at NC State in early April and the AFL in late October. There is a lot to like, as he is a highly athletic player that has potential to stick at a position up the middle. Personally, I think his athleticism and range keep him as a SS moving forward. However, some concerns with the fringe-average arm and the choppy footwork give pause to some scouts in regards to his future at SS. I’m not terribly worried about it, and think the tools are above average and will only further develop with consistent coaching and repetition in pro ball. His actions were smooth in the AFL. It’s not a player that is learning to control his athleticism or simply does not have efficient tools, but a player that needs to allow the tools to marinate longer.

Regardless, you are looking at a player with plus value defensively, which is paired with his near elite speed. At the plate, Turner does have a mildly long swing and displays a small hitch at times. This was heightened some in my AFL viewing, but it’s important to remember that he played a very long season and could have certainly been drained by October. The bat has a chance to be average or a tick above average at the highest level, but it’s clearly the one area that scouts vary the most on. I’ve talked to some in the industry that think Turner is a first division player, and some think he’s a utility guy. I think he can provide enough value as a second division player even if the bat does not hit his ceiling.” -> Tucker Blair, Baseball Prospectus
