Notes

Comments

10/11/20

Body: 5-9, 160-pounds. Medium frame that is starting to fill out with some present strength. 
Hit: RHH. Slightly open and upright in stance. Starts load early utilizing a slow gather and forward stride. Rhythmic hands.  Compact and balanced stroke that worked on a steep-level path. Showed good feel for the barrel and used the whole field. 
Power81 mph exit velocity. Some present pullside gap power. 
ArmRH. OF - 75 mph. Shorter arm action that is released with a higher front shoulder and release point with good air under his throws. Mostly accurate long hops. 
DefenseDecent defensive actions getting to and around the ball. At times slowed down feet to glove the ball. Clean glove exchanges.
Run7.27 runner in the 60. 

Delivery: Simple delivery with no wasted movement.  Uses a higher knee tuck and dips into his back leg before driving hard toward home. Finishes in a good fielding position.
Arm Action: RH. Compact arm circle in the back that comes through at the 3/4 slot. Slots the FB higher than his SL and CH but consistent arm speed. 
FBT79, 77-78 mph. Located well to the glove side.
SL: 70-72 mph. More present VB movement so moves more like a CB. 
CH: 73-75 mph. Straight change that had some late downward action.

Uncommitted. Five-foot-6, 145-pounds. Medium frame with wiry strength in the upper half with noticeable strength in the lower half. Started off running an eye opening 7.07 laser-timed 60-yard dash before taking to the hitting wheel where he uses a toe-tap trigger with a short stride to initiate swing. Showed some feel for the barrel during on-field BP where he drove some balls into the gap. Defensively he shows adequate footwork when charging and round balls while playing through to release. Arm strength was fair showing accuracy to home plate. On the mound Gerber utilizes a dip-and-drive delivery where he uses a strong backside drive to gain ground down the mound with a compact arm in the back through to a 3/4 release point getting extend out front. Fastball showed hints of run with his two-seam fastball shows significant movement. Slider shows late diving action while the curveball was tight with 10/4 movement.
