2/04/24
James put up some good numbers on both sides of the ball but stood out most on the mound where he was one of the top arms of the day. Compact 5-foot-10, 180-pound right-hander out of Desert Mountain who sat 83-85 T86 with the fastball with sink. Pairs it with a slider at 69-71mph and changeup at 73-75mph. Plenty of potential on the mound and he can also get it done on the infield and at the dish. Fields balls with confidence at the shortstop position and moves well laterally with arm strength across the diamond (85mph). Right-handed hitter who’s aggressive in the box and found the sweet spot more often than not during BP (66%). Posted a top TrackMan exit velocity of 87.3mph.

6/21/22

Athletic frame at 5’8” 160, above average runner 7.36. Balanced set up at the plate with the hands next to ear, some pre-pitch bat movement. Simple stroke using a toe-tap in load. Flashes solid bat-to-ball skills with a line-drive generating swing. Should have potential to drive well to all fields as the frame adds mass. Clean, athletic movements in the infield. Gets around the ball well with feet. Could benefit from a more quiet glove, but trusts his hands well. Strong arm from infield as well, 84 INF Velo. Demonstrates command of the baseball on the mound. Aggressive movements during delivery, particularly the leg lift. Employs use of both fastball and curveball and can throw both for strikes.
