Sportsvival has been locked in on the 2026 MLB Draft class all year, and one of the prep bats who continues to rise is Trevor Condon, the left-handed hitting outfielder from Etowah High School in Woodstock, Georgia. Condon is not the biggest player in the class, but he plays with speed, confidence, bat-to-ball ability, and the kind of center-field profile that gets scouts excited. In a draft loaded with college bats and high-upside arms, Condon gives teams something different, a true high school center fielder with a chance to hit, run, defend, and grow into more power as he matures.
Background
Trevor Condon has been one of the best high school baseball players in Georgia and one of the top prep outfielders in the country. He was named the 2025-26 Gatorade Georgia Baseball Player of the Year after helping lead Etowah to a 29-7 record and a berth in Georgia’s Class 6A state final. At the time of that honor, Condon was hitting .504 with nine home runs, 42 RBI, 17 doubles, and 15 stolen bases through 36 games.
Condon is a Tennessee signee, which gives him real leverage going into the draft. If a team wants to pull him away from one of the best college baseball programs in the country, it will likely have to believe in the bat and be willing to pay for the upside. He officially signed with Tennessee after being recognized as one of the better prospects in the 2026 class.
There is also a strong baseball background to his story. Condon’s love for the game started early, and he grew up playing baseball in Georgia with other talented Etowah players. That long development path shows in the way he plays the game now. He is not just an athlete trying to figure it out, he looks like a baseball player with instincts, confidence, and a plan.

Condon is not a massive, power-first corner outfield type. He is more of a quick-twitch, athletic center-field prospect with strong baseball instincts and room to add strength. MLB Pipeline lists him with a 60 hit tool, 70 run tool, 60 field tool, 55 arm, 45 power, and 55 overall grade, which tells the story of the player pretty well.
Tools and Skill Set
The first thing that stands out with Condon is the hit tool. He is a left-handed hitter who can put the barrel on the baseball and use the whole field. He has quick hands, does not need to sell out for power, and has shown the ability to handle high-level pitching for his age.
His speed is a major weapon. Perfect Game has listed him with a 6.83 60-yard dash, and evaluators consistently view his running ability as one of the best parts of his game. That speed helps him on the bases, but it also gives him real value in center field, where he can close gaps and cover ground.
Defensively, Condon has the tools to stay in center field. He reads the ball well, moves efficiently, and has enough arm strength to make the routine and aggressive throws. That matters because if he sticks in center, the offensive profile becomes even more valuable.
Strengths
Condon’s biggest strength is that he has a true leadoff or top-of-the-order skill set. He can hit, run, defend, and put pressure on defenses. He is not just a showcase athlete, he has produced in games and handled the spotlight during a huge senior season.
His left-handed bat is advanced for a high school hitter. He shows comfort in the box, understands how to make contact, and does not look like a player who is simply trying to hit home runs. There is a real hitter here.
The speed gives him a high floor. Even if the power takes time, Condon can impact games with his legs, defense, and contact ability. That is what separates him from some prep bats who are more dependent on developing power.
Areas for Improvement
The biggest question is power. Condon has enough bat speed and athleticism to grow into more impact, but right now he profiles more as a line-drive hitter than a true middle-of-the-order power bat. He will need to keep adding strength and learn which pitches he can drive.
There may also be some adjustment time against professional pitching. Most high school hitters need time to handle better velocity, sharper breaking balls, and pitchers who can attack weaknesses. Condon’s bat-to-ball skills are impressive, but the jump from high school baseball to pro baseball is always a major challenge.
The other question is how much physical projection is left. He is not a huge-framed outfielder, so teams will have to decide whether they believe the power can become average or better. If it does, he has a chance to become a very complete player.
Draft Outlook
Sportsvival sees Trevor Condon as a first-round caliber talent in the 2026 MLB Draft. Because he is a Tennessee signee, signability will matter, but the tools are strong enough that he should be firmly in the early-round conversation.
A team picking in the middle-to-late first round could see Condon as one of the safer high school bats because he brings multiple ways to impact the game. He does not have to hit 30 home runs to be valuable. If he hits, runs, and stays in center field, he can be an everyday major league outfielder.
MLB Comparison
MLB Comparison: Sal Frelick with a little more top-end speed
Condon has some similarities to Sal Frelick because of the left-handed bat, athleticism, contact ability, and center-field profile. Like Frelick, Condon’s value may come from hitting line drives, getting on base, using his legs, and playing quality defense. Condon may have a chance to grow into a little more raw impact as he fills out, but the comparison fits because both players win with athleticism and feel for the game.
Sportsvival Mock Draft Spot
In Sportsvival’s 2026 MLB Mock Draft, we currently have Trevor Condon going 19th overall to the Cleveland Guardians.
That fit makes a lot of sense. Cleveland has always valued players who can hit, control the strike zone, run, defend, and play the game with feel. Condon checks a lot of those boxes. He gives the Guardians a left-handed hitting outfielder with top-of-the-order traits, center-field ability, and the kind of athletic profile that could develop nicely in their system.
Final Thoughts
Trevor Condon is the type of prospect who may not always jump off the page with monster size or huge raw power, but the more you watch him, the more you understand why scouts like him. He can hit, he can run, he can defend, and he plays a premium position.
For Sportsvival, Condon is one of the better high school position players in this draft class because he brings real baseball skills with athletic upside. We already showed that belief in our mock draft by placing him 19th overall to the Cleveland Guardians. If the power continues to develop, he has a chance to become a true everyday center fielder at the major league level. That makes Trevor Condon one of the most interesting prep bats to watch as the 2026 MLB Draft approaches.
