On deck preview

 

Reid Martin OF / LHP / Dansville, NY / 2024

What to expect: Projectable, long 6-foot-2 frame with some foot speed. Compact line drive stroke with gap to gap approach.  

What we’d like to see: Some added size and strength to see a jump in the exit velo. Added arm strength to go with the quality glove and speed in the field.

Gage Wheaton RHP / OF / Penfield High School, NY / 2023

What to expect: Live arm with plus ride on the FB through the top of the zone and a fading change up that tunnels out of the FB release point. 

What we’d like to see: Added strength to the 6-foot-4 frame. Improved feel for the breaking ball (maintain arm speed and FB release point)

Sam Miller OF / Fairport, NY / 2024

What to expect: Athletic actions with some quick twitch. Natural speed and arm strength with gap to gap pop at the plate.

What we’d like to see: Improved Rotational Acceleration scores that could yield a bump in peak and avg Exit Velo. Continue to trend up in measurables.
