Simon

11/10/2018 - California Senior Games - 6-foot-2, 165-pounds. Young, strong athletic body. Ran a 7.25 60-yard dash. At the plate starts from a balanced setup, with a smooth load. Has a longer stride, uses lower half well and in sync with good top half rotation. Good balance, average bat speed, and a consistent approach at the plate. He showed a level swing, with a short path that keeps him driving the barrel down as the ball enters the zone. Line-drive hitter and his mechanics are consistent. Has a longer throwing motion, throws from a ¾ arm slot. He makes accurate throws and has good arm strength as his throws has life, and carry. Registered a 82 mph, one of the highest outfield velocities of the day. He uses good mechanics and gets behind the ball. The mechanics of his throwing motion are inconsistent causing accuracy issues at times. On the mound Simon, a long, lean righty, really caught our attention with the ease with which he pitches. Gains a lot of ground down the mound and does a good job of hiding the ball causing deception. Works from a high 3/4 slot with an easy, loose arm and a repeatable delivery. Didn't overpower hitters with velocity but used his ability to command and hit spots to cause uncomfortable at-bats for hitters. Curveball shows late and he commanded it very well usually working at or below the knees with the pitch. Did an excellent job mixing locations with the fastball and his pitches giving the appearance of more velocity.
