From Three Quarter Slot:
Summary: A twitchy shortstop who can really pick it, Hughes certainly projects as a guy who will stick at short. He has excellent footwork, especially around the bag, and a solid arm that allows him to make all the throws. At the plate, he is a legitimate switch hitter with a hit over power, hitterish look. He makes plenty of contact from both sides, although the impact on the baseball is somewhat limited. While he can continue as a switch hitter, I don’t see much upside on the power front in his swing on the right side of the dish, although there is some fringy potential in the left-handed batter’s box. He is undersized, but also young, won’t turn 18 until October, so a team that believes in the potential could get a steal in July, otherwise he will be headed to UCSB in the Fall.
