BAWS 2019 - 

Large, physical frame with strength in it and the space to keep tightening; projects well with current strength (8.09 60yd). Myers bat showed he’s a future power bat that can stay in the middle of the lineup from the left hand side. During BP he showed the ability to drive through contact with an athletic swing using a foot lift to load into the back hip and get there on time. The barrel has some late upward whip through the zone showing pull power with carry into the gaps (85 EV). During games he showed off that pop with three hits including a long 2B into RCF; he had some loud outs as well showing best when he stayed to the middle of the field with the swing. Behind the plate he’s got a wide frame that shows a good target with a strong arm (76 MPH); 2.11-2.19 Pop times as the longer arm action works in time with his long frame to put balls on the arm side of the bag catching a runner during games. His defense was fine, but large catchers tend to have a bit of trouble sticking behind the plate which could be the case here as well. The bat will carry the profile with lots of strength to drive balls. Loved his focus on the field playing with some passion and grit.

1/27/19 - PBR N CA Preseason All-State - Large, wide frame with present strength and length in lower half; big, physical kid with some baby weight and lots of projectability in the frame (8.53 60-yd). Big, wide target and flashes athleticism behind the plate with turn and transfer to throwing hand; arm is strong showing high back elbow with slight recoil on throws (2.24-2.30 pop, 76 MPH). Glove hands shows strength with ability to stick pitches and slight movements back into zone on offspeed pitches; projectable skills that can continue to improve over next seasons. Slightly opened, balanced stance with knees turned towards each other showing strong posture and high back elbow; weight stays in back side on front foot lift with hands working back into shoulder. Controlled, aggressive swings staying behind the ball well with excellent extension out in front of plate and through the baseball; bat has easy loft and very easy to project big power as he regularly drove gaps and flashed pullside pop currently (83 exit velo). Raw skills currently and if he can improve his overall athleticism, could make big jumps quickly.
