Nate Cena, Christian (CA), 2023
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 6-0, 175lbs. Medium frame. Lean build with some upperhalf strength. Room to fill. Average swift athletic testing metrics.
Defense: Relaxed actions. Walks into approach. Works low to the ground and displays early. Slight stutter slow down into fielding. Quick exchange.
Arm: RH. OF - 87. Above avg. strength for level. Shorter action. Quick to release. Slight pause in the back. Higher arcing throws. 3/3 accurate on the fly throws during OF workout.
Hit: RHH. Athletic stance. Slight pre-engagement with backside. Gets grounded into backfoot which allows for balance into forward move. Simple forward stride. Early barrel entry. Uphill path. More FBs than LDs/GBs during BP round. Above avg. bat speed (77mph max, 71mph avg.). Rotates quickly. Accelerates early into the zone (20gs avg. rotational acceleration). Consistent out front contact. Pullside HR power.
Event: California State Games
Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Physical: 6-0, 175-pounds; 7.93 60-yard, 4.34 30-yard split, 1.89 10-yard split, 24.7” vertical jump. Lean strength through on streamlined body, higher waist.
Offensively: RHH. EV max – 94.2 mph, max estimated distance – 335 ft, hand speed max – 22.7 mph (21.4 avg), bat speed max – 73.1 (67.5 avg); Feet just outside shoulders, in-line set-up w/hands over back knee at shoulder height, modest lift out to medium stride, small hand load, front shoulder tilts slightly upward before firing, high two-hand finish, lively physical swing with extra base hit power projection.
Defensively: OF mph – 87; Aggressive approach with a sense of urgency, fields out front and gets into crow hop and release quickly, strong arm with accuracy.
Delivery: Stayed in stretch, athletic high lift to gather over rubber, hands start up near neck/right shoulder, in-line stride with some length, has ability to use slide step, stiffens lead leg which creates some spin off his front heel taking him back up the slope a bit.
Arm Action: Consistent release height among his three pitches, compact shallow circle on backside, loose quick arm, some recoil after finish.
FB: T84.8, 81-83 mph velo range. 2509 max spin (2302 avg); feel with length through the zone, spin plus movement project the FB to continue to project into a usable pitch at the college level, keeps down well.
CB: 67-69 mph, 2211 max spin (2121 avg); somewhat early release which creates some rolling arc and sizeable shape but lacks significant depth and bite, can land in the zone.
CH: 74-77 mph, 1883 avg spin; big spin reduction off the FB, resembles a BP fastball with very similar movement pattern to the FB.
