Took a short stride to the pitcher and stayed on line and showed balance in the swing. Had a very confident presence at the plate. Showed average bat speed. Had a short/level stroke that was gap-gap. The rhythm was inconsistent at times, but when fluid, showed the ability to hit with some flick. In the field, threw from a high three-quarters arm slot with a short, loose arm action with accuracy. Played through the baseball with average hands, clean footwork, and quick/clean transitions. Showed average arm strength.


Corey Willis, 3B/C, Massaponax, 2017
Willis committed to Eastern Mennonite. He has a lankier athletic 6-0 frame. Hits from the right side with decent batspeed and gap power potential. Above average runner with an accurate arm.
