Sophomore USC outfielder Austin Overn has solidified himself as a top 100 prospect for the 2024 MLB draft this season. The former receiver walk-on at USC and star outfielder for the Trojans started in every game for USC baseball this season, being in the lineup for all 58 contests through the regular season and the postseason.
The sophomore centerfielder led the Trojans with eight homers on the year and had a team high .482 slugging percentage, with five triples and 12 doubles as well. He led the team with 55 runs scored and 17 stolen bases as well and has solidified himself as one of the nation’s top centerfielders, earning Pac-12 All-Defensive Team honors for the second straight season.
Overn was also named to the All-Pac-12 First Team last year along with being named to the Freshman All-American Team as well.
Overn is the 49th-best college prospect according to Shooter Hunt, prep baseball vice president of scouting.
