Andrew Balian, Sunrise Mountain (AZ), 2024
Positional Profile: C/RHP
Body: 6-foot-1, 160-pounds.
Defense: 2.09-2.29 pop times. Throws to 2nd base were on line. Quick transfer, direct actions from glove to hand. With the use of lower half arm strength should improve.
Arm: RH. C - 70 mph. Quick arm, throws from a high 3/4 slot. Velocity to 2nd base was recorded at 70 mph (C) with 4 seam flight. Uses all arm, can improve arm strength by using more lower half.
Hit: RHH. Open upright narrow setup with stance. Uses a leg kick, creates some length with hands while wrapping barrel. Leg kick takes him to his front side. Slightly disconnected, hips fly while upper body stays closed. Path is slightly uphill, catches the ball deep. Top spin flight to the pull side on occasion. Max exit velocity was 90 mph with a peak distance of 270 feet.
Run: 7.60 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Has repeatable tempo, timing with the arm is consistent. Pitches with some craft.
Arm Action: RH. Delivers from a 3/4 slot. All 3 pitches seem to tunnel well. Lets his pitches work.
FB: Sat 73-75, topped at 76 mph. Has some arm side run, seems to be more comfortable to the arm side.
SL: Sat 66-67 mph, average spin of 1235. Cutter-ish, tends to get around it at times.
CH: Sat 65-66 mph, good command. Starts middle and drops off arm side and down in the zone.
