3/10/19

 

A 5-foot-11, 155-pound right hand hitting OF/RHP who ran a 6.68 laser timed 60. Hits from the right side with an athletic square stance. Small leg lift with a stride forward landing on line, hands load back with rhythm, and bat path was flat and stayed through extension. Hips fire with some aggression and swing appeared to be a solid line drive swing with some pull side tendencies. Exit velocity was 80 mph off the pitch. Feet were active and aggressive on approach playing behind the ball with nice glove presentation to catch. Clean exchange to a longer arm action, but showed some arm speed getting it through throwing from the outfield at 76 mph.

Short load back with slight uphill swing with high finish Hands stay inside baseball and lets the ball travel. Live round proved he could generate gap to gap power and everything was barreled. Defensively, in the outfield, shows clean and deliberate actions with a long arm stroke coming through an over the top slot at 84 mph from the outfield.

6-5-18
Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 159 pounds. Currently ranked No. 59 in PBR Colorado's 2020 rankings. Projectable body/frame. He has good instincts in center field and runs good routes. He features plus speed and base running ability. At the plate Garrett has a good-looking swing. Stays through the baseball and has good extension on his swing. Good leadoff hitter with selective approach. Uses whole field. Flashed power, but will more likely come as he continues to develop. Off the mound Garrett was 77-78 with his fastball. Looks to have very raw mechanics. Loose arm. More velocity will come as he learns to use his whole body and get better extension out front and iron out mechanics.
