BA GRADE

Risk: High
Born: Sept. 19, 1994. B-T: L-R. Ht.: 6-3. Wt.: 220. Drafted: Lake Erie (Ohio), 2016 (7th round). Signed by: Marty Lamb.
Raley hit .424/.528/.727 his junior season at Lake Erie (Ohio), and the Dodgers made him the highest Division II player taken in 2016 when they selected him in the seventh round. He signed for $147,500.
Raley made the jump from D-II competition to high Class A Rancho Cucamonga without a hitch in 2017, earning all-star honors in the California League and finishing with an .848 OPS. Raley is a physical, strong lefthanded hitter who wears cutoff T-shirts to show off his biceps. He packs legitimate above-average power and has the bat speed and swing path to get to it without sacrificing batting average. His power plays to all fields, and more could come as he learns to be more consistent in putting together quality at-bats, an area targeted for growth. Defensively, Raley is above-average in left field. He has good pre-pitch instincts, closes distance on ground balls exceptionally well, is quick getting the ball out of his glove and has an above-average, accurate arm that flashes plus. Raley further draws raves for his work ethic and competitiveness.
Scouts consider Raley a sleeper who could bust out if his power goes up one more tick. He will head to Double-A Tulsa in 2018.
