Dylan Beavers

Beavers, the Orioles' competitive-balance pick at No. 33 overall in last year's draft, is a potential power/speed outfielder from California who didn't turn 21 until August. The 6-foot-4 right fielder struggled in both opportunities with a wood bat (Cape Cod League and USA Baseball), but he rebounded with a .291/.427/.634 slash line, 17 home runs, seven steals, a 19.9 K% and an 18.8 BB% in 56 games as a junior. He had a brief 23-game run across complex ball, Single-A and High-A and demonstrated a very keen eye (18:16 K:BB). Given his size and bat path, Beavers should be able to hit for at least above-average power. Additionally, he is at least an above-average runner and was 17-for-23 on the base paths in 123 college games before going 6-for-7 on stolen-base attempts at Single-A. For fantasy purposes, there is a lot to like here. However, the Orioles' depth chart is getting crowded, given how well they've done recently in the draft, so the competition for playing time will be heated when Beavers is ready, likely in 2024.
