Scouting Report
Futures Preview (6/4/16)
Ras is a lanky, athletic 6-foot-4 175-pound RHP/OF and switch hitter. Very projectable body, Ras was one of the top prospects from the event. Offensively- Lefty: Ras starts with an athletic stance and the bat rested flat on his back shoulder. Uses a leg kick and fluid hand load and explosive hip and hands for his age to generate power. Had an Exit Velocity of 90 from the left side. Righty: Starts in an athletic stance with a toe tap, explodes hips through the zone. Hands get somewhat wide righty, but was able to barrel inside pitches despite this. Righty Exit Velocity: 86
Fielding- 
Throwing Velocity of 88 from the outfield, throws from a high-3/4 angle and explosively pulls down on throws, creating excellent back spin and carry on throws to the plate. Pitching- Throws from a high-3/4 angle off the mound with smooth mechanics and a lightning quick arm stroke. Up to 90 MPH with FB, but sat 87-89 consistently. Showcased a changeup at 66that had splitter-like break. Very projectable arm.
