2024 Fantasy Outlook
The big question with Head is how much he will impact the baseball. A premium athlete who should be at least a plus defensive center fielder, Head was selected by the Padres with the 25th overall pick in 2023 and received an under-slot $2.8 million bonus. A lefty hitter who turned 19 this offseason, Head had a 15.3 K% across rookie ball and Single-A, and he shouldn't have any trouble making contact at an acceptable clip below Double-A. However, if he's simply dumping singles into the opposite field and rarely looking to pull the ball in the air, that would be a red flag, even if the overall stat line looks solid. His top fantasy-relevant tool is 70-grade speed that could translate into 30-plus steals in the majors. Read Past Outlooks

The Padres have selected Head with the 25th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft.
ANALYSIS
Known for his 70-grade speed and 60-grade center-field defense, Head is currently a groundball hitter who makes solid contact but doesn't drive the ball in the air with any regularity. Given his speed and the fact he hits from the left side, Head should log high batting averages on balls in play relative to most players with low-end exit velocities. The prep product from Illinois would likely need his swing and/or approach to be overhauled for him to be more than a bottom-third-of-the-lineup hitter whose defense keeps his bat in the lineup.
