NORTHERN CA UNDERCLASS GAMES

Body: 5-foot-10, 165-pounds. Well-proportioned, compact/athletic build, visible muscularity
Hit: RHH. Tall set-up w/slightly open front foot, closes to even/balanced stride that lands on time and keep him behind the ball, calm w/good body control, stays connected well, hands work through contact with good separation through contact toward finish, explosive hip rotation provides extra juice. Pull side contact particular strong. Ready to hit pitches in his zone in positive counts, showing so by jumping 1st P FB for single through the INF. 2nd AB was particularly long showing no chasing tendencies and a very sound two-strike approach that still allowed for hard contact in the middle of the field (F8).
Power: 86 mph EV off tee
Arm: Catcher velo - 72 mph - Ball leaves hand well, quality footwork allows arm to work clean and efficiently, ball carried to bag with life making catch/tag easy for the infielders. In-between inning throws were considerably better than workout throws, a couple of which were slight short-hops.
Defense: 2.04-2.11 Pop-times - Calm footwork with ability to get out of crouch easily. Consistent throwing mechanics. Sits in various positions while receiving, trained sound technique, quiet sort and relaxed hands as pitch approaches, sticks it with confidence and strength. Leader-ish communicative skills showed as well which was impressive as one of the youngest players in attendance. Chance to be one of the top at his position in N CA in the 2024 class. Also took an excellent round of defense at SS, looking as polished there as he was behind plate.
Run: 8.14 60-yard
