Ty
Gill

Purdue recruit. Athlete with a strong, thin, lean, narrow, and wiry body who has a high waist and a frame that has room to fill out. Gil has a lanky body that allows his legs to work well with strong running strides and smooth actions.  Produced a 6.89 60-yard dash time. Displayed a very accurate and confident arm from the SS position. Had an easy glove to throwing hand transfer when fielding with a cross body throwing style. Made strong throws from the backhand side in the 5-6 hole. Had quick feet and was able to throw with balance and body control. Left-handed batting stance is erect that allows him to hit with good barrel control and good bat speed. Slight forward hip drift at times made him top some balls with the barrel and hit ground balls on the pull side. When his timing and body stayed behind ball, he crushed some balls deep. Very good feel for the game overall and being a LH hitting SS with some upside makes for an interesting future.
