Hughes was one of the most dominant hitters in all of college baseball while hitting a sensational .375/.510/.735 for the Red Raiders and bashing 18 homers. There are not many offensive concerns with the 21-year-old, but the bat is going to have to max out because he projects as a below-average defender who likely plays in left field. He also won’t steal many bases, but if he shows a semblance of the offensive ability he did in the Big 12, he could be a middle-of-the-order hitter someday for the Astros.
