Benjamin
Baxter

6-foot-3, 205-pound right-handed hitting first baseman and pitcher. Had a very good showing at the event. Ran a 8.6 sixty on the laser at the event. Threw 73 mph across the diamond from first to third. The glove and feet work appropriately around the bat at first. The frame is big for target purposes and he handles the bag. The bat has plus life to it, tee exit velocity of 93 mph. Sets up even in base, front foot slightly open. Uses a small toe tap as the ball approaches and then steps into the swing. The hands work very well and the barrel moves quickly. Small lift in the path of the bat through the ball.  On the mound, the fastball touched 72 mph, minimal arm side run to the pitch. The spin pitch is 65-67, big in shape, needs more fastball hand speed to the pitch. The changeup is a work in progress. The delivery is online with his feet, above ¾ in slot. The glove comes across the hitters face as he makes his way into foot strike. The lift is waist height, tracks the front shoulder to the catcher.
