Gabriel
Tapia

Vs Leland Uncommitted. Small frame showing a high waist with projectable lean muscle build. Athletic, high effort player with frame that can continue to improve. Stands tall at the plate with very high hands and high back elbow wiggling bat vertical. Controlled front foot lift with slight lean into back hip as hands pull backwards slightly. Hands turn the barrel down from high placement having level-to-slightly upwards path of barrel. Does a good job of keeping his hands tight to the body and being able to get bat head through the zone. 2B down the RF line being on time and showing extension through swing. Athletic out of the box with short quick stride (4.9T). Aggressive runner willing to take chances; drew walk in 2nd AB and saw ball get away from the catcher knowing he could get to 2nd and forcing poor throw that scored a run. Used same aggressive streak in OF tracking down a ball in foul territory going a long distance and making a diving catch. Quick reads in OF with good 1st step and ability to take clean angles to the ball. Arm is average fitting best if he can play CF with range allowing him to play all three spots. Another 2021 OF that has a chance to make some jumps
