Video scouting report »

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 60 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 45 | Overall: 55

Clifford was a well-decorated U.S. national team player and had one of the best all-around bats among 2022 high-schoolers, but a lack of showcase-circuit success and a commitment to Vanderbilt caused him to drop to the 11th round, where he would no longer be tied to a specific slot bonus. The Astros took him there and talked him away from the Commodores with a $1,131,530 bonus, roughly second-round money. Clifford quickly climbed from Single-A to High-A after 25 games in his first full season. The left-handed slugger dominated at hitter-friendly Asheville, slashing .271/.356/.547 with 16 homers in 58 games, and moved to the Mets in a Deadline deal that sent Justin Verlander the other way. His move to High-A Brooklyn was an uneasy one (.188/.307/.376 in 32 games), though rough hitting conditions in Coney Island likely played a factor.

Regardless of where he played, Clifford ended 2023 with 24 homers, tied for second-most among Minor League teenagers. His uphill bat path helps him get the most of his significant raw pop, and it plays well to all fields. In fact, he may have gone oppo a little too much in ’23 and could increase the power by aiming for more pulled balls. It certainly helped him to get away from Coney Island with a first-half promotion to Double-A Binghamton this summer. He has high three-true-outcome potential with good walk rates but also his share of swing-and-miss issues. 

Clifford has just fringy speed, and while his arm strength could certainly play in a corner outfield spot, both the Astros and Mets gave him ample looks at first base where his lack of quickness is less of a concern. He still has some room to grow defensively there too, but his bat is so good that some evaluators preferred him over Drew Gilbert in the Verlander trade.
