Positional Profile: 1B/RHP 1B with smooth LHH power stroke.
Body: 6-1, 219-pounds. Sturdy, well-proportioned build.
Hit: LHH. Starts from an upright, balanced stance that begins slightly open. Hands set behind the ear with the barrel flat across the shoulder and minimal pre-pitch hand movement. Initiates load by shifting weight onto the back side as the hands drift back and the barrel works vertically. Employs a small leg lift for timing, leading into a controlled stride forward with length, landing even. Aggressive hip fire at foot strike, paired with an explosive upper half. Hands work quick through the zone with present bat speed. Uphill path produces consistent carry up the middle, showing gap-to-gap power. 71 mph bat speed with 20 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 79.8 mph. 296' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-78 mph. Short, compact arm path with a very low 3/4 release. Throws with accuracy across the infield and profiles to stick at first base.
Defense: Gets low pre-pitch with hands that stay low, working into a clean two-handed gather. Lets the ball travel into his frame while displaying direct, compact footwork that can display intent when working downhill. Profiles well at 1B.
ATH: 7.31 runner in the 60. 1.62 in the 10 yard split. 18.80 max vertical.
Vizual Edge: 68.87 Edge Score

You look at Siale and you wouldn't think he's a freshman in HS, he looks the part at 6'0" 212.1lbs. He definetly backed it up with a max EV of 96.7 MPH and an avg of 87.7 MPH. The kid swings hard and with intent! Advanced approach for sucha young hitter, really knows his swing. I personally saw him hit his farthest ball of 366 FT smoked into the RF gap over the wall. Hand speed of 23.5 MPH and a max bat speed of 73.9 MPH. (80% hard hit, 60% sweet spot). When he switched to go pitch he topped out at 81.7 MPh and was sitting at 77.6-81.3 MPH. Avg 1899 spin with 22.7in total movement. Just wait in couple years and see what Siale is doing on the bump. The SPL is nasty, once he gets the SL polished he will have a legit 3 pitches. Keep an eye out on his twin brother Sione who is a stud C, both of them will be playing at St. Francis High School this year.
