Javier
Diaz

5-foot-8, 160-pound, solid, thick, already filling out athletic frame. Shows to have strength throughout. A right-handed hitter, starts open, lands even on foot strike. The hands are loose starting above the shoulders, with bat starting in a flat position. For timing uses a bigger leg kick, under control, gains ground with it. The swing is level through the zone, more of a pull approach, could keep the hands inside the baseball longer, cuts swing off at end, easy fix with reps. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 76 mph and ran the sixty-yard dash in 7.03, moves really well. Batting Practice rounds had hard consistent contact. Defensively, fields out front with soft hands. Quick transfer, one shuffle into release of the baseball. Feet move throughout, with no wasted movement. The arm works out of a natural ¾ slot, clocked at 67 mph across the diamond. Off the mound, hands start low, work up with leg raise, lift is athletic, builds momentum down the mound. Front shoulder looks to leak at times, could stay more direct. The fastball was clocked at 71-73 mph, had sink action to it to arm side. The breaking ball had proper spin, thrown at 57-59 mph. Good looking younger player, time will tell which way he goes.
