Miami Marlins Linked To Elite Hitting Prospect In Latest Mock Draft

As it pertains to Willits, he truly has the potential to become an All-Star caliber player at the major league level someday.

MLB.com has Willits ranked as the fifth-best player in this draft class, and their scouts are very high on his hitting ability.

Here's a snippet from the shortstop's draft profile:

"A switch-hitter who's more proficient from the left side, Willits is exceedingly polished at the plate for his age. He has outstanding bat-to-ball skills, making consistent line-drive contact while rarely straying from the strike zone. He may never have more than average raw power, but his hitting ability should enable him to tap into most of it and provide 15 homers per season."

Even though Willits wouldn't make his MLB debut for another three to four years at the earliest, he could be a key piece for Miami in getting back to being a consistent playoff team each year.
