Condon wasn’t a high-profile prospect coming out of The Walker School in Marietta, Ga. He enrolled at Georgia in 2022 but took a redshirt season and didn’t play until 2023. In a Freshman of the Year season, he led all first-years with an .800 slugging percentage and 25 home runs. He then played for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team and slashed .256/.302/.538 with three homers in 10 games. Condon took another step forward in 2024, when he became the first Division I hitter this century to hit 35 or more home runs and pushed to the top of the draft class. A 6-foot-6, 216-pound righthanded hitter, Condon has a special blend of power and pure hitting ability. He has a chance for 70-grade raw power, with the ability to homer to all fields and some of the best top-end exit velocities in the class. He has more pure bat-to-ball skills than might be expected of a tall hitter with such long levers. He’s never been fazed by top-end velocity, has improved his performance against breaking stuff in 2024 and has a chance for a plus hit tool. After playing mostly first base in 2023, Condon played five different positions in 2024 and played them well. He is most likely to profile as a bat-first corner outfielder, but he is a strong enough athlete with the hands and arm strength to get a chance at third base in pro ball. He’s a fine runner now but could slow down to below-average in the future and shouldn’t be a huge factor on the bases. Condon is reminiscent of other tall, righthanded, top-of-the-class corner profiles in recent drafts, such as Kris Bryant and Alec Bohm, and is a favorite to be picked first overall.
