Scouting Report

7/06/20

 

Physical: Well proportioned, lean 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame with some strength in the actions. 7.44 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: RHH. Balanced, even stance with the hands showing rhythm at the ear.. Utilized a repeatable leg-hang stride with stretch back to the shoulder in the load for the timing mechanism. Entered the hitting zone through a slightly uphill barrel path with feel for extension. Found plenty of barrels to all fields during a quality batting practice round which saw him work gap to gap primarily. Recorded a 90 mph bat-exit velocity per Trackman Baseball with high level bat to ball skills.

Defensively: The primary shortstop arrived to the baseball on time with regularity demonstrating a low center of gravity and range to either side. A soft glove hand allowed for smooth and repeatable transfers showcasing the ability to throw from multiple arm angles. Made the play on the run with relative ease while the arm played through a high ¾ slot with a moderate takeaway across the diamond. SS - 77 mph .. Working out in the OF as well, displayed a feel for footwork in any direction getting behind the ball and playing downhill through it towards the destination. Fielded the ball off of the front left foot on the ground and featured quick transfers to the throwing hand. OF - 74 mph.


 

2/17/20

 

Physical: 5-foot-9, 140-pounds. Tall lanky frame; able to hold more weight.
Run: 7.05 runner in the 60.
Hit: RHH. Tall stance; feet are even with shoulder width apart; short leg kick into a smooth stride; slightly open and tends to close himself off when striding out Hard line drives to the middle of the field and pull side; long and high one-handed finish.
Power: 84 MPH raw exit velocity. Shows pop to middle of the field, really lets the ball travel and squares it up; consistent contact.
Defense: INF: Tiny prep hop for timing; choppy footwork would like to see it a little more loose and smooth; moves well laterally; hands do a good job of attacking the ball out front OF: attacks the baseball hard; fields the ball out on glove foot side; nice pro step.
Arm: 3/4 arm slot; long arm swing. INF - 77 MPH. OF - 76 MPH.
