7/14/14 - 6-foot-1, 170-pound highly athletic, fast twitch, right-handed hitting outfielder impressed as the top prospect in attendance at the 2017 Top Prospect Games.  Possesses elite bat speed for any age with 95 mph exit velocity, hitting from a tall, open setup with a smooth load and short stride.   Bat path is short and slightly uphill, with relaxed hands and controlled violence in swing.  Hands are impressive, staying inside the baseball even on pitches buried inside.  Barreled several baseballs during live game play, doubling twice, singling twice, and also stealing several bases.  Extremely aggressive on the base paths, ran 4.43 on a groundout to short that was barreled.  Czerniejewski may prove to be the top hitter in the 2017 class when it is all said and done.  Defensively, impressed more in the outfield than in the infield with actions and athleticism.  Threw 85 mph from the outfield, and 81 mph from the infield.  Does everything at a fast pace and full go.  Played through the baseball with clean fluid actions in centerfield, showed same carry on throws at shortstop as well, shortening up arm action a bit.  Czerniejewski is a high level prospect to watch over the next several years.
