Bitonti has an athletic profile that's easy to dream on. At 6'5, 215, he's already showing above average power that could be 70 grade when he's done developing. His swing is pretty steep which results in easy power that can come at the expense of contact. Bitonti is long levered and his swing can get long at times. He's played shortstop to date but as a below average runner and lateral mover, he may move to third base or even a corner outfield spot long term. If he puts it all together, he's going to be an impressive power bat as a pro. Bitonti is currently an Oregon commit.

Spencer Michaelis:
If you liked the Wilken pick, especially the power that comes with it, then you should also be very excited about the Bitonti pick. Equipped with some of the biggest raw power in the high school class, Bitonti has a sweet-looking left-handed swing. Like Knoth, he’s young, even for a high schooler, as he won’t turn 18 until mid-November. Despite being a pretty good athlete for his size, it’s unlikely he will be able to stick at shortstop. In fact, the Brewers are already planning to have him start at third base. He should be a very strong defender at the hot corner, and he certainly has the arm to handle it as well. The question for Bitonti will come with his hit tool. He does have some holes in his swing presently, and he has struggled with making solid contact on breaking balls. His issues with breaking balls seem to be more aligned with his feel to hit them, as he doesn’t chase them much. This is a good sign. It means he likely just needs to get more comfortable with his bat path against spinners rather than learning how to recognize them entirely. He crushed fastballs in the prep circuit and should have no issues handling professional velocity. There’s big-time, middle-of-the-order upside with Bitonti. Brewers fans will just need to remember to be patient.
