Alex Dickerson

[Runs2the1Show]

I was wondering if any of the scouting gurus would mind weighing in on Indiana University outfielder Alex Dickerson. I've seen him in a lot of top 50 boards and I myself go to Indiana University, so I've seen a lot as well.

Just wondering what you guys think about him, and a potential fit on the Orioles.

Very pull-oriented. Limited defensive value in LF and worked out a fair amount at 1B with team USA this summer. Wasn't overly impressive with wood in international competition and may be looking more like a 2nd round pick at this point. Scouts will look to see how his full-field approach is coming along in the spring before investing a high pick on him -- especially if he's limited to 1B as a pro.

Here's my vid of him swinging it:
