  Hall is an exceptional athlete who will still be 17 years old on draft day and is one of the youngest players in the 2025 class. He was originally a member of the 2026 class but reclassified in November 2024. That made the 5-foot-11, 175-pound shortstop something of a mystery heading into 2025 because most scouts weren’t focusing on him during the 2024 showcase circuit. Hall had a tremendous offseason and packed a lot more strength onto his frame which, when paired with a dynamic tool set, rocketed him up draft boards and into first-round consideration. He is an aggressive hitter with a quick, handsy swing that comes with an operation that has been quieted down this spring. While he’s a hit-over-power righthanded bat, Hall’s improved strength and bat speed could lead to some 18-20 home run projections, though below-average or fringy in-game power production is more likely. He isn’t the most rhythmic or instinctive hitter and he’ll need to shore up some swing-and-miss tendencies against secondaries as he begins to see higher-quality pitching with more consistency. He’s a 70-grade runner who will turn in top-of-the-scale run times and plays the game with a high-energy, infectious style. Hall has all the tools to be an above-average shortstop defender. His short-area quickness is impressive, his hands are reliable and he also has an above-average arm to make all the required throws. Hall is committed to Tennessee but is a likely first-round pick who could easily go in the 10-20 range.
