Clayton has been a three-year starting shortstop for Washington. During his junior season, he slashed .275/.380/.446 with seven home runs in 49 games, with a career-high 18.3% strikeout rate and career-high 13.1% walk rate. He’s a light-hitting hitter who projects to hit at the bottom of a lineup and will need to thrive on contact skills, and to do so he’ll need to find the barrel more against quality secondaries.

The 2024 Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Clayton has a reputation as a solid but unspectacular defender who could either slide to second base full time in pro ball or offer utility infield value.
