Medlin

Medlin is another product of the 2025 Central Coast Summer ID who has continued to trend upward with his whole profile in the last 12 months. His physicality and athleticism have steadily moved in the right direction for his future, with a frame that has added around 10-15 lbs. of strength, while his athleticism has increased to a now present 7.02 60-yard sprint with a max run speed approaching 20 MPH, showing burst and ability to build/maintain his speed throughout. Those physical and athletic developments show up in his tools across the board as he continues to maintain a strong hit-first profile with a leverage-based swing that works to all fields, hitting just under 90 MPH for his max EV while still averaging solidly in the 80's that can tick up more as he continues to develop his frame in the coming years. The swing repeats efficiently with an athletic operation that is controlled, balanced, and consistently on time. Behind the plate, his actions are steadily confirming a long-term strong to potential impact defensive profile at the premium catching position with now 75 MPH of catcher arm velocity at pop times that are reaching the low 2.0 range consistently. Medlin is solidifying into a strong name to know for the 2028 class as he keeps his upward trajectory.

Medlin was the youngest player in attendance, but not only held his own against the older competition actually made a strong statement to his present ability and future upside. The wiry built, but athletic Medlin stands at 5'7 and in the 135 lbs. range at present, but has room to fill strength on his frame as he continues to mature. He possesses strong mobility in his lower 1/2 which allows him to present low targets, stick low pitches with his base helping him to handle the pitch, quickness in his block and an upward trending arm which lived on the bag all day long with his throws at hip to knee height consistently (popped a low of 2.03 on the day with a 73 MPH C velocity). A present 7.41 60 yard runner who will get faster as he keeps adding strength to his frame looks the part of long term athletic backstop. His offensive continues to trend up now getting near the benchmark 90 MPH max EV range as he topped at 89.1 MPH while averaging 81 MPH from a line drive based stroke that produces 19.3 MPH hand speed, 67.1 MPH bat speed and rotateds with 10.9 Gs of rotational acceleration. While the workout for Medlin was intriguing he showed that he can handle himself on the field with older players picking up multiple knocks during the sim game to the opposite field while working quality innings behind the dish receiving. With plenty of time to continue developing in the 2028 class, but already possessing the strong foundation of abilities Parker has keep your eyes out for this high desert product.
