Donzell McDonald  
Center Fielder | Detroit Tigers

Hitting
McDonald provides an ongoing clinic on how to hit .300. He works the count in his favor, waiting for his pitch or settling for a walk. He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. McDonald always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. He likes to pull the ball, but don't be surprised if he puts the ball the opposite field from time to time. He's a smart batter and takes good note of how the fielders are shading him.

Baserunning & Defense
He gets a good jump on flyballs and doesn't shy away from the fence. His arm is accurate enough. McDonald has excellent speed and uses it wisely. He reads pitchers' moves well and is capable of stealing in any situation.

2010 Outlook
McDonald is in charge when he's at the plate.
