Ernie Little: 2B/OF, (2022) Austin Prep, MA. 5-foot-10, 155-pound. Capable at the plate, Little had an exit velocity of 82 mph. Begins in an open wide stance with a controlled load, then uses a short stride. Bat speed is some, displays a flat swing plane and good extension on his finish. In his round he found some barrels with some loud contact. Line drive approach. Solid in the infield, his best throw was recorded at 75 mph; shows a clean exchange, soft hands, and smooth rhythmic feet. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were athletic. Used a high ¾ slot and a short arm action while showing consistent accuracy to the base.
