Florida State center fielder James Ramsey was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 22nd round last year and turned down a mid-six-figure bonus to return to Tallahassee for his senior year. He hasn't stop hitting since and might be in position now to go as high as the sandwich round for a team looking for an under-slot, polished college performer.

Ramsey's carrying tool is his bat and he has a long history of hitting. In 239 plate appearances this spring he's hitting .380/.520/.674 and last summer in the wood bat Cape Cod League, he hit .313/.448/.571 in 140 plate appearances. There are some tools to back up that performance as Ramsey has a direct, line drive bat path with some strength and bat speed, but most importantly he has an innate ability to square up pitches.

Ramsey's body is maxed out and he has no better than average raw power, so the question is if he can stick in center field. He doesn't look like he'll be able to run with a body similar to a young Nick Swisher, but he's a 55 runner that gets out of the box quick and will put up 60 run times to first. Ramsey is a grinder that maximizes his tools, so his range is solid but he lacks a second gear that I think will eventually make him an above-average right fielder, where his solid-average arm would play.
