Devaris Gordon

Here’s a little blurb on Gordon from Baseball America

Had Gordon played Division 1 baseball last year, odds are he would have gone higher than the fourth round. Instead, Gordon was academically ineligible to play at Seminole (Fla.) Community College last year, and some area scouts in Florida never even had the chance to see him play. Now the speedy shortstop is showing the ability to hit in games, but he’s only scratching the surface of his potential. Through 50 games for low Class A Great Lakes in the Midwest League, the wiry Gordon is hitting .293/.360/.390 with 16 walks and 39 strikeouts, while flashing his plus-plus speed with 29 steals in 35 attempts and six triples. He’ll also need to cut down on the miscues after committing 16 errors already.
