MLB.com money quote: "Larnach has been known for his advanced approach from the left side of the plate since stepping into the Beavers' starting lineup as a sophomore. He's not afraid to draw walks and makes consistent hard contact, always loving using the opposite field. Evaluators have thought there was power to tap into and he's done that this spring, reaching double-digit home runs."
