Middleton

Andrew Middleton: LHP/1B, (2022) out of Canton, MA. is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound two-way prospect. At the plate, the right-handed hitter had a max exit velocity of 89 MPH. He starts in a balanced, athletic stance with the hands set just off the back shoulder. The load is controlled and uses a short stride to trigger the swing. The bat speed was evident during his round. The flat path and good extension lead to a lot of solid contact. In the infield, Middleton was 83 MPH on his throws across the diamond. As he worked through the ground balls, he showed athletic feet, soft hands, and a fluid exchange. He moves well laterally and uses a high ¾ slot to deliver the ball across the diamond. In the 60-yard dash, he recorded a time of 7.6. On the mound, Middleton showed a long, high ¾ arm slot. The delivery is clean and allows him to get consistent direction with home plate. His fastball sit 84-85 MPH with downward tilt. He also showed a sharp curveball (70-71 MPH) and a changeup (74-77 MPH) with late sinking action. 

6-foot, 180-pound left-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 81-82 mph, true in shape. The spin pitch is 67-69 mph, big in shape as it needs more fastball hand speed to it. The changeup is 73-74 mph and very good in action at times. The delivery is online with the feet and slot is high above 3/4. The posture has a lean to the third base side as he has some lean during the stride phase, which takes away from his direction to the plate. The arm is short on the backside. He does show a good amount of glove pull as he makes his way into the pitch. He is a follow for me, I like how the arm works and if he cleans up the spin pitch he could be a good one. 

5-foot-10, 185-pound left-handed pitcher and first baseman. I like him on the mound, the fastball sat 79-80 mph, with run and sink. The breaking ball has a chance to be very good, sitting at 69-70 mph( more slurvy). He showed a changeup at 67-70 mph, minimal fade and sink. The delivery is solid in tempo and the slot is above 3/4. The feet are online and the tracking of the front shoulder needs to stay online longer, he spins off too quickly. The glove can have less pull to it, leading to improved extension for more velocity. I think he has a ton more room for a bump in stuff. At first base, he threw 78 mph across the diamond. The feet and glove are solid. The bat has a tee exit velocity of 84 mph. He hits right-handed, the feet are even to start. The path is flat and long to the ball, as he throws the hands to the ball. I like the swing as well. 

Tee Exit Velocity- 84 mph

INF Velocity 78 mph
