Minor League Batting Stats for Lastings Milledge

SCOUTING REPORT: Lastings Milledge

Hitting
Has the athletic ability to hit leadoff, but may end up down in the order more. He has great power potential and not the ideal plate discipline for a typical leadoff hitter. Has excellent bat speed along with his great power. Could become a consistent .300 hitter with 25+ HR as he develops. Still needs to work on adjusting and recognizing breaking balls.

Running
Milledge is blessed with elite speed. Is considered by some to be the fastest player in the Mets organization, if not in the top 2 or 3. Will probably be able to steal 30+ bases a season from his current leadoff spot. Really there isn‘t a tool that Milledge doesn‘t have elite ability in.

Defense
With his great speed and athleticism it comes as no surprise that Lastings is a very good defensive centerfielder. He has excellent range in the outfield and a solid arm to go along with it. He still needs to work on keeping his focus in the field as he tended to have lapses of concentration during the year.
