Dustin Ackley

Dustin Ackley followed up an impressive Tar Heel debut in 2007 with an even better sophomore season, in which he hit .417 and maintained on-base and slugging percentages above .500. Dustin's 2009 season has to be considered even better, as he has begun to better leverage his power to accommodate his otherwise flawless offensive game. Observers took notice, as Ackley was recognized as the 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year. An outfielder in high school, some believe Ackley could play center field again professionally. Given his elite bat, doing so would make him an incredibly valuable player. It would be surprising to see Ackley fall out of the top third of the first round in June's amateur draft.
