7/01/20

6-foot-1, 160-pound, a long, lean athletic frame, shoulders are squared off, having plenty of room for added with gains. A right-handed hitting middle infielder, can play both spots effectively, projecting more on the second base side. Defensively, super soft hands with flow and plus actions. The arm is clean, working out of a natural slot, clocked at 78 mph, arm will play, controlling double plays, along with relays and cuts. At the plate, starting slightly open, gets back to even with stride foot, hands are loose at the shoulders. The lower half is under control, small leg kick, gaining ground. The swing is level to up, driving the baseball to all fields, line drive to loft. The exit velocity was clocked at 86 mph, showed good speed, registering a 6.97 sixty-yard dash. Will be a good one at the next level.

Exit Velocity: 86 mph

Arm Velocity: 78 mph

Sixty yard Dash: 6.97

6-foot-1, 160-pound, longer, lean athletic frame, with squared off shoulders. A right-handed hitting middle infielder, has feel and game from both sides of the field. At the plate, slightly wider set up, hands are loaded up with strength to them. The swing path is level through the zone, backside and hips help provide juice to the swing. The approach in middle to pull side, took a solid round of batting practice with a tee exit velocity of 84 mph.  Ran a 7.03 sixty-yard dash, long clean strides. Defensively, projects out to be able to play all three spots in the infield. The arm action is super clean, working from a natural slot, clocked at 75 mph, with more in there. The approach is accurate and under control, feet move throughout, soft glove out front. Turned it equally well from both sides of the bag. Projects for me as an offensive second baseman, going to be good for someone. 

Tee Exit Velocity: 84 mph

Arm Velocity: 75 mph

Sixty-Yard Dash: 7.03

5-foot-10, 140-pound, long, lean, wiry strong athletic frame. The back is wide, shoulders are squared, has plenty of room to fill out. The top tool is his top tool, can really swing the bat. At the plate, hits from the right side, hands are super loose at the shoulders, bat is tilted. The feet are even, wider than shoulder width. For timing uses a simple pick up and put down with stride foot, swing is level through the zone, gets good extension, stays through it well. The approach is more middle to pull, had a tee exit velocity of 80 mph. Athletic actions, ran a 7.28 sixty-yard dash. Took a solid round of batting practice. Defensively, soft hands, fields out front. The transfer is clean, arm works out of a natural ¾ slot, clocked at 72 mph. The arm has more in there, looks to stop on the finish. Projects out for me as more of an offensive second baseman. Potentially to really hit at the next level.

Tee Exit Velocity- 80 mph
Arm Velocity- 72 mph
Sixty-Yard Dash- 7.28

5-foot-3, 100-pound, smaller thin, athletic frame, has plenty of room to fill out. The actions and movements are smooth. A right-handed hitter, the stance is even and feet are shoulder width apart. The hands are set just below the back shoulder and the bat starts with some tilt. The lower half is under control, stride is straight and lands soft with it. The hands could get back a bit more, swing is flat through the zone, is balanced throughout, makes contact at the spot. The approach was gap to gap, sprayed it to all fields. Defensively, prep steps are under control, works from the ground up, fields ball off inside part of proper foot. The feet move throughout and transfers the ball to throwing had with no hesitation. The arm action is clean, arm works out of a natural ¾ slot, clocked at 59 mph. The actions are good, feet and hands work well together, strength is a must. The mechanics are very sound for his age.

Sixty-Yard Dash: 8.04
Exit Velocity: 66 mph
Arm Velocity: 59 mph
