After batting .298 with one homer as a sophomore, Hankerd showed significant
improvement at the plate this spring for Southern California. Then he
terrorized NWL pitchers, winning the batting title by 41 points on his way to
league MVP honors. He was promoted to high Class A Lancaster for the stretch
run.
Hankerd is an outstanding pure hitter who peppers the middle of the field
with line drives. He can pull the ball with authority early in the count and
go to the opposite field with two strikes. He has a rather flat swing plane
and gap power now, but he could develop average home run power as he fills
out and develops more loft.
"He didn't really demonstrate power on an everyday basis, but the homers he
did hit, they were big-man home runs," Gainer said. "It's pure and natural,
you can tell he loves to hit, been doing it for a while. Even when his timing
is off a little bit, he stays through the ball really well."
Hankerd is a fringy defender and runner with a below-average arm. That
relegates him to left field, but his bat should carry him.
16. Brooks Brown, rhp, Yakima (Diamondbacks)
B-T: L-R Ht: 6-3 Wt: 205 Age: 21 Drafted: Diamondbacks '06 (1)
A supplemental first-round pick who helped pitch Georgia to the College World
Series, Brown was kept in the bullpen after pitching 111 innings in college.
The Diamondbacks see Brown as a starter down the line, but some scouts believe
he profiles better as a power reliever if he can keep his composure in tight
spots.
Brown has a solid sinker-slider repertoire but a history of inconsistency
dating back to his freshman year for the Bulldogs. When he's right, he pumps
90-93 mph fastballs that touch 94-95 and have good downward movement, shows
an above-average breaking ball and demonstrates good feel for his improving
changeup.
He's a good athlete and has a sound delivery from a three-quarters am slot.
But NWL managers weren't impressed with his mound presence, citing a lack of
poise and fluctuating control.
