Scouting Report

10.28.17 Cornblum is a high level defender at shortstop with ultra-quick footwork, smooth actions and a strong, accurate arm across the infield (88 mph). He shows plus range as he moves with long strides, and an easy gate, gets to full speed quickly, has soft hands, excellent body control and can play on the run. The Wichita State recruit already has an athletic, lean, fast-twitch frame at 6-foot-1, 165-pounds, and has plenty of room to add more strength as he matures. Cornblum has separated himself as one of the top shortstops in the junior class, but his bat is also a tool that should allow him to transition quickly into the lineup for the Shockers. The right-handed hitter has a stacked, relaxed set-up at the dish with loose-quick hands and strength at contact (88 mph exit velo). Took a solid round of batting practice, shows excellent feel for the barrel with hard line drives through the middle of the field, and flashes pull side pop as he transfers through contact with a loose finish. Ran a 6.75 60-yard dash.
