Pierce Cowles: SS/2B, (2024) Salisbury School, CT. 5-foot-9, 170-pound solid frame. Projectable during batting practice, the right-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 94 mph. (73.7 mph bat speed average). (22.6 mph hand speed average). Started in a balanced wide stance with a low controlled load, then used a small leg kick. Bat speed is developing, exhibits a loose uphill swing plane and good extension on his finish. Created loud contact and found multiple barrels. Gap to gap aggressive approach. Athletic and projectable in the infield, his position velocity was registered at 76 mph; shows twitchy soft hands, a natural exchange, and athletic developing feet. Fielded the ball out front with developing athletic movement laterally. Consistent accuracy to the bag, used a high ¾ slot with a loose arm action. During the event, ran the 60-yard dash in 7.32. (Max spin ; Avg ).
Future Games
A right-handed hitter, gap to gap hitter, level to up path, could shorten at times. A very good defender, handles the pivot form both sides, arm is a tick above average at 81 mph. Game 1-Two solid at bats, base hit up the middle, played solid defense on both sides of the bag. Game 2- Played hard and fast, above average at bats. Game 3- Swung the bat very well, line drive attack, played a solid defense good turns and starts, projects more as a second baseman. Spark plug type player, high motor, plays the game quick and is super locked in.
5-foot-9, 160-pound, stronger, solid athletic frame. A twitchy athlete, super smooth actions and movements. A right-handed hitting middle infielder, can play on either side of the bag, probably projecting out more at second at a very high level. At the plate, a wider setup, balanced, even feet, hands are at the shoulders, tilted setup. For timing uses a minimal stride, a firm front side on contact, is behind the baseball on contact. The swing is short and compact, hands are inside the baseball. The approach is to all fields, line drives with enough juice to get baseball in the gaps. The exit velocity was clocked at 86 mph, with more in there as he continues to work on his craft and adds strength. An average runner, ran a 7.10 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, gets around the baseball, feet move throughout, glove is soft, with a quick clean transfer. The arm action is short, working from 3/4 slot, clocked at 81 mph, flight and carry to it. Love his game, high follow.
Exit Velocity: 86 mph
Arm Velocity: 81 mph
