A high school shortstop from Tennessee who the Cardinals announced as an outfielder when they selected him 55th overall in 2025, Mitchell will make his pro debut in 2026. He has a projectable 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame and good athleticism that should translate well to center field. He hits from the left side and has above-average speed on the bases. The big thing working in Mitchell's favor is that he has a strong track record of hitting, with good bat speed and zone awareness. If his hitting translates, he could get to 20-plus homer power as he fills out his wiry frame. Read Past Outlooks
