5-foot-10, 150-pound, RHH hits from a wider and slightly open stance with the same hand movement in his pre-pitch stance above his head that we saw from him at the Underclass Games in July, rhythmic stride and hand movement back to get loaded, lower half fires very well and creates a lot of separation when clearing his hips, stays loose and uses a swing path that is flat almost all the way through the zone, hit low line drives all around the field.  Defensively, showed smooth hands and footwork in the infield, played through the ball fluidly and used a longer arm action through a ¾ release point, throws were accurate. King had some productive at bats and recorded a single, a run, and an RBI.
