Underclass Games

6-foot-4, 175-pound right-handed hitting two-way prospect, athletic, projectable build, more strength to come as he continues to develop, ran a 6.82 laser-timed 60. On the mound, arm works long and loose, quick speed to a high ¾ slot, repeats well. Works out of the stretch only, drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands square, momentum carries him down the mound. Fastball sat 80-82, touched 83. Curveball, 12/6 shape, depth, 64-66, has the potential to be a swing and miss pitch. Changeup, sink, 73-74. At the plate, tall, open setup, hands load back, reverse hanging leg stride, balanced. Gap-to-gap type hitter, short to the zone, level through, carries momentum through contact, 78 exit velocity off a tee. Defensively, long arm action to a high ¾ slot, 82 across the infield. Smooth fielder, funnels into midsection, clean glove work and transfers, fluid footwork.

6-foot-3, 170-pound right-handed hitting two-way prospect, can play either corner position, lean, lanky frame, only just starting to physically fill out, much more to come. Balanced, relaxed setup at the plate, hands load back smoothly, short stride. Presently a line drive hitter, uses the middle of the field, has the potential given his frame and future to strength to be a gap-to-gap hitter. Defensively, can handle either corner infield spot, made a number of plays at third base, arm works across the infield. On the mound, worked 79-83 with armside run. Curveball 70-72, sweeping action.
