Extensive Look at 2022 MLB Draft Prospects
Over the course of the next few days I thought I would find several short writeups on some of the guys suspected to go early in the draft. I will go in no particular order. Today's post is about Brooks Lee the shortstop out of Cal Poly. Here is the information I found along with a link to an extended article about him from Baseball Prospectus.
‐---------------------------------
COLLEGE PLAYERS TO KNOW FOR 2022 MLB Draft - Through The Fence Baseball
Get to know the name. Much like Henry Davis did in last year’s draft, Brooks Lee is a name that keeps gaining momentum. In 2021, Lee had a .342 batting average and an incredible 1.010 OPS. His 139 total bases sits near the top of all collegiate players. Of course, there are a few prep shortstops that will contend with Lee for the number one spot, but barring any major drops in performance, Lee should be a top-five pick in July.

2022 MLB MOCK DRAFT 3.0; Brooks Lee, Druw Jones - Through The Fence Baseball
Between Carter Young and Brooks Lee, 2022 might turn into another Mayer/Lawler debate like 2021 had. I like that Brooks Lee can hit very well from both sides of the plate and displays the same type of power each side he’s swinging. He’s got the size you like to see for a shortstop of his caliber, and he displays quick hands at the plate and in the field. On the base paths he leaves little to be desired, but the rest of the package is there.

MLB draft prospects 2022: Ranking top 50 players in the class, with Termarr Johnson at No. 1
Expecting the switch-hitting Lee to become the most decorated big-league player in Mustangs history would be unreasonable. Ozzie Smith is a Hall of Famer, and both Mike Krukow and Mitch Haniger made All-Star Games after playing their college ball in San Luis Obispo. Forecasting Lee to dethrone John Orton (25th) as the highest selected Mustang, however, is more than fair. Scouts have the utmost confidence that he's going to hit, and possibly hit a lot thanks to his bat-to-ball skills and his track record; including his stints in the Cape Cod League and similar constructs, he's batted .357/.412/.513 in more than 400 collegiate plate appearances. (He did record more than five times as many strikeouts as walks on the Cape, though it's hard to knock his play there given he batted .405/.432/.667.) Evaluators are less harmonious about his chances of remaining at shortstop for the long haul. Lee, who plays for his father at Cal Poly, has great instincts and less-great athleticism; a move to second or third base would seem like a fine compromise between value and ability. Provided he stays healthy and reaffirms that he merits an average or better power projection this spring, he should go in the top five picks come the summer. And, perhaps, even first overall.

An Inside Look at Potential Prospects on College Baseball Opening Day
Quite possibly the best all-around player in college baseball, Brooks Lee will certainly turn some heads. The 6’2", 205 lbs. shortstop is nothing short of magnificent. Defensively, his range can be attributed to his quick reads off the bat, and his cannon of an arm can throw out the fastest of baserunners from anywhere on the field. At the plate, Lee is a powerful switch-hitter that shortens up when he needs to and finds a way to get the bat on the ball.

When it comes to amateur shortstops, Brooks Lee checks all of the boxes. Widely regarded as an early-round pick out of high school, Lee has done nothing but produce at the college level. The 6-foot-2 switch-hitter possesses a smooth swing from both sides of the plate, with the ability to grow into some more power. On defense, he has the actions, athleticism, and leadership qualities to stick at shortstop long term.
After missing most of his freshman year due to hamstring surgery, Lee impressed in 2021, slashing .342/.384/.626 with 10 homers in 55 games. Last summer, splitting time with Team USA and on Cape Cod, Lee shot up draft boards industry-wide.
The San Luis Obispo native was objectively the best player on Team USA’s roster while owning a 1.099 OPS in 21 games on the Cape. Although the quality of prep bats this year is very good, Lee looks to be the best player in the class right now.
