A dominant Jung was a familiar sight on the Texas Tech infield over the last half-decade. Two years after Josh won 2019 Big 12 Conference Player of the Year honors and went in the first round of the Draft, Jace won the same award by hitting .337/.462/.697 with 21 homers in 56 games. Jace had to wait another year -- one in which he again produced a 1.093 OPS and boasted a 42/59 K/BB ratio -- to go in the first round himself; in his case, it was 12th overall to the Tigers. The younger brother was pushed to High-A West Michigan but may have run out of gas a bit with the additional 30 games.

Starting from an upright left-handed stance, Jung holds his hands with his bat at an unorthodox backward angle, yet he doesn’t have much issue staying on time with his movements. His knowledge of the strike zone helps drive his plate discipline and healthy walk rates -- even at High-A, he had a .373 OBP -- and he has the strength and bat speed to show near-plus power to all fields, as he did throughout his college career.

A below-average runner, Jung can provide value on the basepaths with his aggressiveness on balls in play, but he won’t be much of a stolen-base threat. His lack of range and arm keep him limited to second base after dalliances at third and short in college, and while his hands work for the position, he’s still going to need to hit for both average and power to bring impact as an everyday player. Luckily, he has a long resume of doing just that. - mlbpipeline

I actually used the Tiger pic and closed with mouth before making it.

Looks great. Thanks.
