Tommy

Troy

The 22-year-old was the 12th overall selection from the 2023 draft class. Before suffering the injury, Troy was hitting just .184/.231/.286 with a homer, three RBI, five stolen bases and a 10/3 K/BB ratio over 52 plate appearances in 12 games at High-A Hillsboro.

Troy receives a $4.4 million signing bonus, which is roughly $600,000 below slow value for the 12th overall pick. The 21-year-old shortstop put together an impressive final collegiate season for Stanford, crushing 27 homers and swiping 17 bases across 58 games. He’s likely to wind up somewhere else besides shortstop, but offers a relatively high-floor for fantasy purposes.

Troy packs some serious punch, despite his smaller 5-foot-10 frame. He wrapped up his junior season at Stanford with a sparkling .394/.478/.699 triple-slash line with 27 homers and 17 stolen bases in 58 games. He played mostly third base in his final year at Stanford, but his ideal position is most likely second base due to his arm strength. He is an above-average hitter that does not strike out often, but there are still questions about how much thump he will produce against more advanced hitters. He has a chance to move extremely quickly through Arizona’s system and could join their electrifying young nucleus at the highest level next year.
