Nick Banks is an outfielder for Texas A&M, who will be entering his Junior season this fall. He is currently seen as a 2016 first round draft prospect. Let's take a more in-depth look at him.

He also made Kiley McDaniel's chat earlier this week...

What do you think about Nick Banks?

Kiley McDaniel: Looked like top-10 talent last summer, changed his swing this summer to allow him to go to all fields better, which happened from what I saw with Team USA last week, but I think he's gotten too mechanical and isn't letting his athleticism show up at the plate. Still a first rounder, but more questions now.

it will be interesting to see who will be assigned to "protect" Banks in the batting order next year. He was issued 7 intentional walks in 2015. Could see that number double in 2016

Anything new in his swing to cut down on the strikeouts and take away his blind spot on the up and out pitch is a positive.

Didn't he hit like .360 batting in the middle of the Team USA lineup?

He hit .386.

If he performs to his potential in 2016 I think he could be a top 10 pick. But if he slumps late in the season like he did in 2015 he could slide to 2nd or 3rd round. In any case he will surely be gone. He is looking at a $1m+ signing bonus.

This speculation is also driving up his few Team USA baseball autographed cards

Of course a new swing is going to look mechanical at first. Gotta give the man some time before it feels / looks natural.
