Jaden Liu, Servite (CA), 2026

Positional Profile: C/RHP Solid catch/throw defender behind the plate who shows upside with his RH hitting profile.

Body: 5-11, 200-pounds. Thicker build with some present strength that can be developed.

Hit: RHH. Open stance with balance to his weight that features bend in the knees and a slight hinge of the hips. Hands are set deeper beyond the rear shoulder above shoulder height with high back elbow and maintains some bat waggle. Small shift of his weight into the back side with a smaller stride in the forward move with a barrel tip over head to load his hands at launch. Uses more of his hips and upper body in the turn process with minimal movement down into the back leg. Rear shoulder drives through contact into the finish which is taller. Barrel path works uphill with some length and gets to a high finish with extension. Contact is geared towards elevating the baseball.

Power: 92 max exit velocity, averaged 84.6 mph. 332' max distance. There is present strength in the swing with a decent feel for finding the sweet spot at contact and ability to elevate the baseball although more LD than fly ball. Power projects as middle of the field doubles with pull side HR ability.

Arm: RH. C-75 mph. Elbow leads the hand out of the glove with consistent transfer around the chest. There is some length to arm path with release slightly farther away from body than normal. Throws are online with decent accuracy, but can improve his carry consistency to the bag.

Defense: 2.00-2.07 pop times. Solid receiver who shows strong wrists and feel to receive/present the baseball quietly. Blocks well with mobility in his lower half. Projects to stick at C.

ATH: 7.86 runner in the 60. 1.70 and 4.20 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. Gets up right early in the run process while building speed over time with body control in running motion. 23.90 max vertical."
