Colin Van Beever: C/SS, (2024) out of Trumbull, CT. is a  5-foot-8, 145-pound prospect. During batting practice, the right-handed hitter recorded an exit velocity of 85 MPH, with a (62.15 MPH bat speed average) and (21.65 MPH hand speed average). He begins in a balanced, athletic stance with a slow load. The swing takes a flat path with a good extension on his finish and demonstrates a gap to gap, line drive approach. In the infield, he recorded position velocities up to 77 MPH, while showing good feet, sure hands and a clean exchange. Behind the plate, his best recorded throw to second was 71 MPH with a pop time range of 2.25-2.31. His initial setup was staggered, with the glove set in the middle of the chest. As he transitions to throw, he shows consistent, smooth footwork, sure hands, and a clean transfer. During the event, he recorded a 60 time of 7.28. 

5-foot-7, 120-pound, smaller, thin athletic frame, with room for added weight gains. A right-handed hitting catcher, at the plate, a wider even setup, hands are set at shoulder height with the bat starting in more of a flat position. The lower half is under control, small pick up and put down. The swing is level through the zone, more of a middle to pull approach, barrel could stay in the zone longer, rolls hands early. The exit velocity was clocked at 77 mph, and ran a 7.97 sixty-yard dash. Defensively behind the plate, shows a whippy clean arm, clocked at  65 mph, a ton more in there. The pop time was clocked at 2.37-2.38. The transfer can quicken, glove needs to work straight across the face, glove to throwing hand, easy fix with reps, will lower pop time. Strength and a regimented throwing program is a must, will aid in his development. 

Exit Velocity: 77 mph
