Those numbers indicate that he didn’t struggle but they are Chicagoland HS numbers. I would imagine every decent team has 2-3 guys with BAs above .400.
I did check his Gamechanger and it shows a slash line of .421/.514/.684 so even better than what you posted. Of concern is 18 Ks (15 swinging) in 138 PAs along with 14 errors in 141 fielding chances.
I’m fine with the selection as the “experts” all agree that Howard fits in that slot but he doesn’t seem to be as sure a pick as Ryan Harvey, Luis Montanez or Earl Cunningham. 😁
The draft is a crapshoot where you weigh strengths (both apparent and projected) vs weaknesses. Hopefully this one works out though there are some red flags.
