Vokal

Davidson Commit. 5-foot-10, 150 pounds. I don't have enough laptop storage to write everything I like about Vokal’s game, he just makes an impact in so many ways. This is as true of a two way you’re going to find, with nearly every tool and intangible you can think of being present and usable in his game. Let's start with the defense, where I believe he can matchup with any SS in the country. He has great footwork for his age, reading hops aggressively, subtly pushing thru the ball with vacuum hands and an explosive gather. The arm action isn’t only clean, it’s lightning quick and has ++ potential. The exchange is near elite for his age. At the plate he’s twitchy, compact, and repeatable. He hits hard backspin line drives to all fields on a consistent basis and knows when to add and subtract effort wise. He’s an on base machine, and the Bears don’t win this game without his 2 runs scored. On the bump he continues to get more electric, and has some eye popping metrics. His riding FB has already jumped 2-3 mph since fall, now working in the 86-89 range consistently. The pitch has special IVB, up to 26 in! Throwing so hard at only 150 lbs,  it’s not at all a reach to see him reaching the mid 90’s when he fills out. His 74-77 SLV stays on FB plane longer than most, with sudden sweep & depth between the 2500-2700 range. It has all the makings of being at least an A/AVG MLB pitch one day.

Long, lanky 5-foot-10 145-pounds, he  impressed defensively up the middle. Vokal has a quick, loose arm, and can athletically make throws, clocking in at 81 across the diamond. His glove work is sound and soft to go along with quick feet. A good athlete, running a 7.17.
