Braylon Payne will be just 17 on draft day, one of the youngest prospects in the entire draft class, a fact likely to add to the appeal of his already enticing profile.

Payne is an outfielder who sets up in the box with a relaxed, quiet stance at the plate. It's a clean, compact swing with fast hands and solid bat speed. A flattish bat path makes it a line drive type offensive profile currently. Payne sprays the ball around the field effectively though, and there's a good hit tool there when it's all said and done given his good bat to ball skills.

Payne is a menace of the base paths, with easy plus to double plus speed which he uses aggressively in games already. Payne plays a good center field already, leveraging his speed for now while he hones his route running. It should be a plus glove which will help him stick in center field despite having only a fringe average arm.

If Payne can add some loft to his swing and continue to improve his bat speed, he could get to average power to round out a profile grounded in strong hit, speed, and defensive tools.
