Analysis:

Garrett Howe is a young fourth-year senior signing, his selection in the 11th Round (the first round on day 3 and rumored signing bonus) indicates he was a priority senior addition. The Georgia native won a High School Gold Glove Award. Defensively, he has soft hands, a quick transfer, and an average arm. His speed enables him to play shortstop and offensively, to steal bases. Howe posted contact rates above 90% and 12% chase rates. There's an opportunity to continue to add strength to his frame and drive the ball with more authority. The smaller framed infielder profiles as a utility-type middle infielder with a solid glove, some speed, high baseball IQ, and good contact skills paired with a selective approach.
