Turang is a very polished player for his age and his ability to stay a short gives him some major draw for major league clubs that are looking to build up the middle. His game is very reminiscent of Nationals shortstop Trea Turner and last year’s first overall pick Royce Lewis. All three players had high grades for their contact and speed, yet lacked true raw power.

Turner has already shown us the type of player that he can be, Lewis is currently tearing up the Midwest League in the Twins system and I believe that Turang can very well follow in their footsteps.

Although Turang and the others may not have elite size or power, these guys are complete ballplayers with a real feel for the game and a killer work ethic.
