Mark Longstaff  
Shortstop | Halifax Oilers

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. Longstaff always has been a line-drive hitter who uses the entire field. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency.

Baserunning & Defense
Longstaff plays a near-flawless shortstop, making very few errors. His arm is accurate enough. Longstaff is an intelligent baserunner with average speed, but he's not a basestealing threat.
