Jack LaSalle: RHP/SS, (2025) Seekonk, MA. 5-foot-9, 144-pound proportional frame. (63.2 mph bat speed average). (18.6 mph hand speed average). Begins in a quiet stance with a smooth controlled load, then uses a controlled stride. Bat speed was developing, had a loose swing plane and good extension on his balanced finish. He created tons of loud contact and found a couple of barrels. Up the middle approach. Confident in the infield, his position velocity was registered at 78 mph; had fluid footwork, firm hands, and a natural exchange. Fields the ball out front, movements laterally were quick. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a loose arm action and athletic slot. Projectable advanced on the mound, using a short consistent arm action he showed lightning quick arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses max effort. During his delivery balance point is tall with in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic recoil finish. (Max spin 2124; Avg 2067).
