Scouting Report
NC State commit is a premium defender with good angles, the ability to throw from multiple slots, and plenty of carry across the diamond. Offensively he has made big strides in the past year and has begun to drive the baseball as his length frame has added strength.

North Carolina State commit. Rangy athletic frame. Length to the limbs with strength present. Stands 6-foot-1, 172 pounds with room to continue to mature in the coming years. Advanced defender with great rhythm and athletic hands. Good bend, working through the ball with balance. Funnels to the midsection. Quick, clean, athletic transitions to a short arm action. Easy carry and accuracy at 81 mph across the diamond. Better quickness on the infield than the 7.02 sixty suggests, moving with efficiency and good range.

Loose and quick through the zone. High barrel ability. Uphill leverage, working for extension with a slight pull tendency. Exit velocity peaked at 94 mph off the barrel.

Scouting Report
North Carolina State commit. Athleticism exists and his frame should allow him to continue to add strength and quickness. There is not a tool that stands out above all the others. Our last full report on Giles was at last year's Preseason All-State event. He has continued to mature in the last year...
