Scouting Report
Sox Prospects:

QUOTE

Speedy centerfielder with nice range and solid fundamentals. Overall, a great athlete. Gets the bat on the ball at a great clip. Below average present power. A lot of room to fill out his frame. Projects to develop power, but will likely be more of a doubles hitter in his early pro years. Above average plate discipline. Above average speed. Gritty, smart, and competitive. Strong arm in the outfield, also played some 1B in high school.

Trivia

Rated by Baseball America as the 136th best prospect for the 2008 Amateur Draft.
Committed to Virginia
Hissey signed on the draft deadline day for $1,000,000.

QUOTE

There are a lot of parallels between Kalish and Boston's fourth-rounder this year, Pennsylvania prep outfielder Peter Hissey. Like Kalish, Hissey is a Virginia signee who is likely to command an above-slot bonus to keep him out of school. They're even similar players: above-average runners with solid line-drive strokes and untapped average raw power, though one scout from another organization said he believes Hissey has more power potential and was a more interesting prospect than Kalish.
