GA Future Game Trials

6-foot-1, 180-pound left-handed hitting catcher and right-handed pitcher, athletically built, lean muscle throughout, strong lower half, quick twitch muscle, live body, ran a 7.22 laser-timed 60. At the plate, open setup, smooth rhythm throughout, hands start back and deepen on load, knee knock stride good balance. Quick hands create whippy barrel speed, swing works uphill through the zone, does damage to the pull-side, 91 exit velocity off a tee, 96.76 top exit velocity during BP. Defensively, arm works clean on the back-side with some length, very quick arm speed, ¾ to high ¾ slot, throws have carry, 82 out of the crouch. Good flexibility in his knees and hips, quick footwork and transfers, pop times ranged 1.97-2.10. Worked out on the infield and outfield as well, a good enough athlete where he can man 2B/3B or a corner outfield position at the next level. Threw 86 across the infield and 91 from the outfield. On the mound, arm action is clean and loose on the back-side, whippy arm speed, comes out of a high ¾ slot. Athletic delivery, long stride, momentum carries towards home, lands toe open, spins off quickly on follow through. Fastball sat 85-88, running action, overpowering at-times, feel for. Slider, 73-75, 11/5 shape, depth, flashed sharp action, potential swing and miss pitch.
