Pyles is another interesting prospect from Illinois. Standing in at a stout 6-foot, 200 pounds, Pyles generated the highest exit speed of the day (99.4 mph), averaging marks in the low-90s, connecting for the farthest hit ball of the day, measured at an estimated 379 feet. His setup was crouched with arm spacing and a somewhat closed stance, and his barrel set is more vertical and delivered with aggressive rotation and solid barrel feel, which resulted in high rates of line-drive contact.

Hit: RHH. Crouched, hands set away from body, closed stance. Vertical barrel set with arm spacing. Quick hands and aggressive rotation. Solid pop and feel for the barrel through impact. Solid pop to the big part of the field.
Power: 99.4 max exit velocity, averaged 91.7 mph. 379’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 80 mph. Long draw, long arm action from an over-the-top slot.
Defense: Hangs back, Stiff hands. Sporadic throws.
Run: 4.75 runner from home to first.

Arm Action: RH. Clean high 3/4 arm slot.
FB: T77, 74.0-76.6 mph. Generally straight, thrown for strikes. T1793, 1671 average rpm.
CB: 59-60 mph. Gradual 11/5 shape, occasionally 12/6, developing spin. T1232, 1232 average rpm.
Hit: RHH. Wide setup, slightly open, knee-knocks into a long stride. Showed some bat-strength, quick hands with a level path through the zone, intent to do damage.
Power: 99.6 max exit velocity, averaged 93.3 mph. 338’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 80 mph. Clean high 3/4 arm slot.
Defense: Fields low to the ground, clean transfer, fluid footwork around the base.
Run: 7.53 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: C
Body: 5-foot-11, 210-pounds. Thick build with strength.
Hit: RHH. Open stance, leg kick trigger, loads hands forward. Short to contact, level path, line drive gap to gap approach with above average bat speed.
Power: 93.78 max exit velocity, averaged 84.41 mph. 351’ max distance. Well above-average power for his age.
Arm: RH. C - 73 mph. Short over the top slot, played true at times.
Defense: 2.22-2.39 pop times. Sets up hinged at the waist, long footwork out of the crouch, gaining ground.
Run: 4.87 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: C/1B
Body: 5-11, 200-pounds. Strong, physical frame.
