[BA] 5. Marc Krauss
Krauss was advanced enough offensively that the Diamondbacks sent him straight
to low Class A after signing him as a second-rounder in 2009. His pro debut was
cut short by an ankle injury, yet Arizona was aggressive again and assigned him
to hign Class A last year. He hit at both stops, as well as in the Arizona Fall
League after the 2010 season. Krauss can rake and he'll have to, because that's
his only route to the big leagues. He's a patient hitter with a clean swing,
though he doesn't have blazing bat speed and his stroke can get long at times.
He uses the whole and developed more pull-side power last season, continuing
that trend in the AFL. He hits southpaws as well as he hits righthandarm, so
he won't get pigeonholed as a platoon player. With below-average speed and
athleticism to go with a fringy arm, Krauss is limited to left field. He does
take good routes to the ball. Scouts question whether he could handle a move to
first base. Krauss will open 2011 in Double-A and could see Triple-A Reno
before season's end. The Diamondbacks need outfielders and power bats, so he'll
move quickly if he continues to hit. He's a good bet to be the first member of
Arizona's 2009 draft class to reach the majors.
