Uncommitted 2023 Infielders


Indiana Staff

David Ayers, SS, Cathedral HS, 2023
7/3/2022 - Long, lanky 6-foot-4, 180 pound frame. Hits from a wide stance with a high handset, loads his hands down and back to a strong hitting position, and uses a short stride. Quick hands, good bat speed, and a lot of length in the swing/frame. Ayers is a very good runner, with a 6.65 60 at Preseason All State. In game, he was a 4.2 H-1st. The mix of bat speed, size, and athleticism that Ayers possesses projects him out to have a chance to be very offensive at the next level.

 

Cole Ballard, 3B, Westfield HS, 2023
6/22/2021 -  Athletic 6-foot-2, 205-pound solid frame. Begins in an athletic tall stance with a smooth load, then uses a leg kick stride. Explosive bat speed with a max exit velocity of 94 mph. Soft hands and smooth footwork defensively. Long arm action from a high 3/4 slot. 

 

Grant Borden, SS, Providence HS, 2023
6/21/2022 - 6-foot-3, 175 pound athletic frame. Borden uses a toe tap stride and is able to create good separation in the swing. Defensively, Borden has next level hands and rhythmic footwork. Borden has shown the ability to play all four infield spots, as well. Borden is a very good runner at a 6.76 60. 

 

Jace Burton, SS, Silver Creek HS, 2023
7/11/2022 - Burton was extremely productive on the weekend, going 6 for 16 with multiple XBHs and also reached base at a .545 clip. The 6-foot-1, 175 pounder has a quick, simple swing that produces a lot of line drives to the middle of the field. In the infield, Burton shows advanced footwork and soft hands with enough arm strength to keep him on the left side at the next level.

John Curl, 1B, Kokomo HS, 2023

What impressed me the most from Curl this week was his ability to hit quality arms and velocity, with multiple hits against arms that were 90+.

Orrill threw a CG shutout on Day 3, allowing just 2 Hs and striking out 12. He showed a crossfire type delivery with compact, quick arm action and tons of feel for his slurvey breaking ball at 69-72 mph. Orrill sat 83-85 mph on his FB w/ solid command. Orrill’s offensive numbers were just as impressive, going 9 for 15 on the weekend with 3 2B’s and a 3B. He uses a leg kick and has efficient movements in the lower half. He has loose hands and rests the bat just above the back shoulder at launch. Uphill path with strength in the swing.
