May 2015- One of the surprise players of the event. Powell is 6-foot-1, 177-pound player who projects very well physically. Ran a 6.94 60 at the event. Had solid numbers across the board working out at multiple positions. Tall stance with balance. Short to contact and has flashes of above average power. Has loose hands and uses them well in swing. Would benefit from staying in zone longer with swing and improving extension through and after contact. 85 mph exit velocity off tee. Aggressive routes and shows athletic actions in outfield. Arm is long and loose with good accuracy to target. 85 mph arm strength from outfield. Shows soft hands and ability in infield. Third base actions. Ok range laterally. Throws flat-footed at times across diamond affecting carry and accuracy. 81 mph infield velocity. Projectable body on mound. Throws downhill and fastball shows life. Has hand speed and arm is quick. Fastball was 81-83 mph and projects to increase. Curveball had 12/6 shape with tight spin and late break. Split is heavy and shows late running action in bottom of zone. High Follow through summer.
