Princeton recruit. A helium hopeful leading into the summer, Clark might just be the best prospect in southern California, and though he has an Ivy League commitment, his talent still warrants the closest of Day 1 attention. It was an impressive look at the 6-foot-1, 195-pound left-handed hitter whose short stroke and quick hands stood out from the left side. There is some impact to the barrel with some controlled, late aggression being seen from a sturdy base at the plate. Even more telling about his Day 1 potential was the look on the dirt. Situated next to some of the finest shortstop defenders in the class, Clark looked their equal, and showed off some dynamic capability with the glove. Likely to get plenty of looks over the next year, there is plenty to get excited about from the SoCal native.
