"The right-handed hitter has exceptionally fast hands, allowing him to whip the bat through the zone and drive the ball," Baseball America wrote (via Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter).

Bichette has verbally committed to the Arizona State Sun Devils, but he told Page he'd have to reconsider his future plans depending on his draft slot.
"If it's a first-round pick, that's going to be hard to pass up," he said. "It really depends on the team and the offer. Some teams are better than others at developing players, so that's something we'll have to look at."
