Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 55 | Run: 55 | Arm: 45 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50
His stock took a hit when he struggled at the World Wood Bat Association World Championship in October and slumped as a senior, but he still should become the first Michigan prep position player taken in the top three rounds since Billy Killian in 2004.

Plummer has a chance to be a plus hitter for both power and average. He has a quick left-handed bat and a mature approach, hitting gap to gap while doing a nice job of recognizing pitches and refusing to chase them out of the strike zone. He shows average to solid speed and can steal an occasional base.

Some scouts think Plummer has the instincts to stay in center field even though he's not a plus runner, while others think he's destined for a corner. If that happens, his arm will fit better in left field than in right. Wherever the Kentucky commit winds up, he's one of the most dangerous high school hitters in this Draft.
